At HFW, we specialize in HVOF coating services.  The benefits to HVOF coating include:

• Components can be re-engineered using higher performance materials
• Wear is prevented or retarded
• Improved functionality and life of process-related or OEM equipment
• Improved lead time—repairing components vs. manufacturing
• Obsolete parts no longer available from the OEM are able to be repaired/salvaged

Contact HFW today to learn more about our HVOF coating process and other thermal spray applications.

Every print cylinder that comes into HFW for reconditioning goes through the exact process outlined below, resulting in the same outcome – highly satisfied customers!

Step 1: Detailed Inspection

• Disassembly and cleaning
• Preliminary inspection of cylinder
• Received condition (Diameter, TIR and surface condition)
• Review parts for condition

Step 2: Engineered Services Manager Review

• Analyze condition and establish work scope
• Review with customer (If desired)
• Prepare quotation (Or work scope summary)
• Submit to customer

Step 3: Customer Approval

• We will not initiate work until our customer fully approves and understands the work scope entailed

Step 4: Remanufacture

• Prepare for coating
• Establish Duragap® protective edge (If desired)
• Thermal spray (Via metallize, plasma spray, or HVOF processes)
• Proof finish
• Precision machine slot (gap) to required width and radii
• Dynamic balance and make necessary weight corrections (If required)
• Assemble and install new bearers, bearings, and component parts
• Finish grind to specifications
• Final assembly
• Inspection / documentation
• Packaging

Thermal spraying includes a variety of processes where molten material is propelled onto a substrate. The two surfaces form a mechanical bond and the substrate temperature generally remains below 300 degrees fahrenheit so zero distortion occurs.

The thermal spray process is used for the purpose of restoring component size to OEM dimensions, and extending service life through enhancing resistance to abrasion, wear, heat and corrosion, among others. The results are lower maintenance costs and increased uptime for our customers!

Additional benefits to thermal spraying include:

• Components can be re-engineered using higher performance materials
• Wear is prevented or retarded
• Improved functionality and life of process-related or OEM equipment
• Improved lead time—repairing components vs. manufacturing
• Obsolete parts no longer available from the OEM are able to be repaired/salvaged
