Production Cost comparison – HYBRID HVAF vs HVOF vs Chrome Plating
The image below compares the direct plating/coating costs on a wide body piston. HVOF costing using a hydrogen fuelled DJ2600 torch at a spray rate of 2.5kg/hr. The propane fuelled HYBRID HVAF AH-6 torch used a spray rate of 25kg/hr. The cost would definitely decrease when using our maximum spray rate of 33kg/hr.
A main advantages of HYBRID HVAF coating technology is the ability to apply carbide-based powders at very high spray rates. Therefore, reducing the coating processing time, which reduces the overall coating cost.
HYBRID HVAF can process 13 wide body pistons in the same amount of time as a single piston via HVOF. HYBRID HVAF can process 30 pistons when compared to chrome plating processing time.
