Air Plasma Spray (APS) Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise the demand in aerospace industry

The air plasma spray is performed on old parts of the machine that need to experience industrial grinding to eliminate their former coating and allow the air spray to hold better. This method is generally cheaper to refurbish old parts than to buy new parts, as air plasma spray action not only addresses the quality of aerospace materials it also makes them stronger than they were when they were first bought due to this increase the demand of air plasma spray in the market which ae expected to drive the market growth rate.

• Increase in demand for extending the shelf life of component

The air plasma spray are corrosion and oxidation resistant coatings which are used to improve enhance performance, wear resistance and extend the lifetime of the components. Due to resistant properties it is highly demanding in market.

• Highly used in automotive sector

Air plasma spray is used for surface treatment in automotive industry. Certain critical parts in every passenger car, racing car and truck, motorcycle have some degree of surface treatment. Some of these treatments include numerous chemical deposition processes, which are normally engineered to increase a vehicle’s driving efficiency, dynamics, performance, and durability.
