Thermal spray coating involves the use of a torch to heat a material, in powder or wire form, to a molten or near-molten state, and the use of a gas to propel the material to the target substrate, creating a completely new surface. The coating material may be a single element, alloy or compound with unique physical properties that are, in most cases, achievable only through the thermal spray process. Thermal spray coatings are a highly cost-effective and straight-forward method for adding superior properties and performance qualities to a given engineering surface. The variety of products and coatings that can be enhanced by thermal spray are virtually limitless. The coatings are usually metallic, ceramic, carbides, or a combination of these materials to meet a range of physical criteria. 
As a family of related technologies, each thermal spray process brings distinct advantages. This provides a high degree of flexibility to meet a wide array of application and production requirements. These processes include: - Atmospheric Plasma Spray
- Champro® Controlled Atmosphere Plasma Spray
- HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) Spray, using either gas or liquid as the combustion fuel
- Combustion Powder Thermospray®
- Combustion Wire Spray
- Electric Arc Wire Spray
