What is our process of applying a coat of tungsten carbide?
Simply put, we use a HVOF process. Our tungsten carbide coating process includes pre-machining parts that are ground and honed for finish to .005-.007 min to size for coating. Your parts are then grit blasted with aluminum oxide grit and built up with the tungsten coating and then are grinded to .0005/.001 over finish. We then take those parts and hone them to a finish of -8-12 micro-inch. Pump plungers and compressor rods are the most common parts that we tungsten coat. (We advise that your compressor rods be rehoned is new packing is installed). We charge based on the process that you opt for, for the HVOF process, it is a minimum of $8.00 per inch and the typical arc spray is $5.00 per inch, both of these processes can take a large amount of set-up time.
