HVOF Coatings for Severe Service Ball Valves
June 26, 2025 | 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. EDT | Webinar
HVOF is a thermal spray process that involves spraying molten or heated material onto a surface at high velocity, creating a dense and durable coating. Chrome carbide, applied via HVOF, is particularly effective due to its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and ability to withstand high-temperature environments. These characteristics make chrome carbide an ideal coating for ball valves that are subjected to erosive and corrosive conditions. This presentation explores the characteristics, selection and benefits of HVOF coatings for severe service ball valves. Click here to learn more. >>
