Thermal Spray Coating & Laser Cladding Services in Connecticut

At Hayden Corporation, founded in 1919, we stake our reputation on long-standing thermal spray coating expertise. This is especially true in the state of Connecticut, where we have completed numerous projects for clients in a wide range of industries. We understand that each application presents unique challenges, which is why we offer an array of thermal spray coating services to meet the specific needs of each customer.

HVOF Coating in Connecticut (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel)

Coatings applied by the High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel process, or HVOF for short, are designed to provide high bond strength, hardness, and wear resistance on components subjected to severe wear.  Common HVOF applications include hard chrome replacement, roll surfacing, cutting edges and wear surfaces.

Flame Spray & Arc Spray Services in CT

Flame and arc spray thermal spray coatings are applied using processes that melt the coating material and propel it onto the surface of the substrate. This results in a highly adherent, dense, and well-bonded coating. Common applications for flame and arc spray coatings include corrosion protection, wear resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal insulation.

Plasma Coating in Connecticut

Plasma spray coatings are applied using equipment that ionizes a gas to form plasma, which is then used to melt and propel the coating material onto the surface of the substrate. This results in a highly adherent, dense, and well-bonded coating. In addition to applications common to other processes, plasma spraying can apply very high melting point materials, like ceramics, and achieves denser, harder wearing surfaces than other conventional methods.

Spray and Fuse Coatings in CT

Spray and fuse thermal spray coatings have been developed to perform at their peak after having undergone an intense fusing stage. Fusing allows for the metals to form a stronger bond, wetting into the surface of the substrate. The end result is a thermal spray coating that is tougher and more corrosion resistant than any other thermal spray process.

Hayden Corporation's laser cladding capabilities in Connecticut are among the best in the country. We're able to provide fully automated laser deposition for your component repair and OEM needs. Laser cladding is a process whereby a laser is used to apply coatings, providing precise overlays with excellent edge definition, surface finish, and metallurgical bonding. This allows us to meet the most stringent tolerances and requirements for our customers.

Benefits of Laser Cladding include:

Wear Resistance:

Laser application of high-performance alloys can significantly improve the wear resistance of components.

Corrosion Resistance:

Laser cladding provides an excellent impermeable barrier to corrosion, making it ideal for applications in harsh environments.

Thermal Stability:

Laser-applied coatings can improve the thermal stability of components, making them suitable for use in high-temperature applications.
