Replacing worn or obsolete components can be expensive with excessive downtime. However, in many cases, a full replacement isn’t necessary. A customised High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) metal spray coating or laser cladding solution can restore and extend the lifespan of your components, ensuring a cost-effective alternative with minimal disruption.
At High Velocity Technologies (HVT), your unique situation will be met with a bespoke, engineered solution to ensure the best possible long-term outcome for you and your business. Our advanced HVOF coating services deliver durable surfaces with superior wear and corrosion resistance, optimising the performance of your critical components across multiple industries.
HVOF coating is a thermal spray/metal process which utilises the combustion of a fuel-oxygen mixture and powder injection to deposit metal coatings onto a substrate. The resulting kinetic impact creates a mechanical bond between the coating and the substrate, with coatings exhibiting high-density deposition and a low oxide content.
In other words, HVOF uses high-speed heated particles to form a strong, durable coating on metal surfaces, enhancing their resistance to wear, corrosion, and extreme temperatures. The process ensures:

High Velocity Technologies offers industry-leading HVOF coating solutions designed to protect and enhance a wide range of components. Our expertise ensures durable, high-performance coatings tailored to meet the specific needs of your business.
HVOF is widely used to refurbish and extend the service life of components, particularly in harsh, aggressive environments (e.g. highly acidic/alkaline/saline soils or waters) where protection against heat, corrosion, impact or abrasion damage is required. HVOF is applied across multiple industries, ensuring superior performance and longevity of components such as:
Â
By opting for HVOF coating, businesses benefit from reduced maintenance, lower replacement costs, and improved efficiency across various industrial applications.
High Velocity Technologies services industries operating in diverse environments and with varying budgets. We pride ourselves on offering bespoke, engineered solutions to our clients. HVT is experienced and equipped with an array of different HVOF coatings to suit your needs, including:
How long does an HVOF coating last?
Depending on the application and environment, an HVOF coating can last several years to decades, significantly outlasting traditional coatings.
Is HVOF better than hard chrome plating?
Yes, HVOF coatings offer superior wear resistance, corrosion protection, and durability without the environmental concerns associated with hexavalent chromium.
Can HVOF coatings be applied to all metals?
HVOF coatings can be applied to a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminium, titanium, and superalloys, making them highly versatile.
How thick can an HVOF coating be?
Typical thickness ranges from 50 to 3000 microns, but this can be adjusted based on the specific application and performance requirements.
