Wide Body Axle HVAF Coating

Production Cost Comparison – HYBRID HVAF vs HVOF vs Chrome Plating

The image below compares the direct plating/coating costs on a wide body 8-journal axle.  HVOF costing using a hydrogen fuelled DJ2600 torch at a spray rate of 2.5kg/hr and a chrome plating 15,000-amp rectifier.  The propane fuelled HYBRID HVAF AH-6 torch using a spray rate of 25kg/hr.

A main advantages of HYBRID HVAF coating technology is the ability to apply carbide-based powders at very high spray rates. We’re reducing the coating processing time and therefore reducing the overall coating cost.

HYBRID HVAF can process 12 wide body pistons in the amount of time it takes too process a single piston via HVOF coating and 43 pistons when compared to chrome plating processing times.
