Alstom's Thermal Spray Division uses the High Velocity Continuous Combustion (HVCC) system for spray cladding applications. In the HVCC process, the consumable is completely atomized in a supersonic jet-stream giving the cladding beneficial properties. The robust process* ensures consistent and repeatable quality and allows for applications to be made at site or in our shop.

Technology Principles

AmStar 888® cladding is appliedutilizing a patented alloy used exclusively by Alstom. AmStar 888®has been engineered to producemechanical and metallurgical properties that result in lower residual stresses incurred during the application process. This allows the cladding to be applied at varying thickness levels (from 5 mils to greater than 100 mils where appropriate) as compared to other spray coatings which are typically limited to thicknesses less than 30mils. It also eliminates the cracking and spalling associated with otherthermal spray coatings.
