At Hayden Corporation, established in 1919, our long history in thermal spray coating has shaped the level of skill we bring to every project. That experience extends to customers throughout Rhode Island, where we support many industries with coatings built to match their exact performance needs. Each application presents its own challenges, and we offer several thermal spray options to ensure every part receives the right solution.

HVOF Coating for Rhode Island (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel): Our High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coatings provide strong adhesion, excellent hardness, and dependable wear protection. These coatings work well for components that operate under harsh conditions. Typical uses include replacing hard chrome, coating rolls, strengthening cutting surfaces, and protecting areas that face continuous friction.

Flame Spray and Arc Spray Services for Rhode Island: Flame spray and arc spray processes heat coating material and propel it toward the part at high speed, creating a durable, well-bonded surface. These coatings are often chosen for corrosion control, increased wear resistance, better electrical performance, and added thermal insulation. Flame spray and arc spray coatings can also be performed as field service for certain Rhode Island projects, depending on part size and location — customers are welcome to inquire about availability in their area.

Plasma Coating: Plasma spraying uses ionized gas to melt coating powders and deliver them to the substrate. This produces dense coatings with strong adhesion and excellent durability. The process works especially well for materials with high melting points such as ceramics and can provide harder, more resilient surfaces than many other thermal spray methods.

Spray and Fuse: Spray and fuse coatings are engineered for maximum strength through a post-spray fusing step. During fusing, the metal layer bonds deeply into the substrate, creating a tough, corrosion-resistant surface that outperforms most traditional thermal spray options.

Laser cladding services from Hayden Corp. provide automated laser deposition solutions for both part restoration and original manufacturing, with all cladding work completed at our West Springfield, MA shop. Using precise laser control, we apply coatings that produce clean edges, smooth surfaces, and strong metallurgical bonds. This accuracy allows us to meet tight specifications and deliver consistent results for customers across Rhode Island.

Benefits of Laser Cladding

Wear Resistance: Laser application of advanced alloys strengthens the surfaces of critical parts, improving durability and helping components perform longer under demanding conditions.

Corrosion Resistance: Laser cladding forms a dense, protective layer that helps shield parts from corrosion, making it a reliable option for equipment used in challenging or reactive environments.

Thermal Stability: Laser-deposited coatings enhance a component's ability to handle elevated temperatures, allowing parts to maintain strength and stability during high-heat operation.
