22 Industrial thermal spraying in Finland

23 Overview of thermal spraying in Finland Thermal spraying more largely used in Finland as compared with other nordic countries Some large players paper industry Very long experience in onsite thermal spraying Several jobshops serving other companies Also some activities in gas turbine applications Some special product suppliers spray materials, sealants, diagnostic equipment Active research

24 Most important Finnish industrial companies using thermal spray processes Valmet Technologies (ex-metso Paper Oy): pulp and paper, on-site Vaahto Group: pulp and paper, misc. Voith Paper Oy (ex-pikoteknik): pulp and paper, on-site, misc. DiamondBlade Oy: coater blades for paper industry Patria Aviation Oy: aero engines Finnair Oyj: aero engines Telatek Oy: energy, mech. eng., on-site, misc. Virtasen Koneistamo Oy : job shop, misc. Kuopion Konepaja Oy : job shop, misc. Fincoat Oy: job shop, misc. TKM TTT Finland Oy: job shop, mech. pulp/wood ind. Oseir Oy: thermal spray monitors Millidyne Oy: thermal spray powders, sealers Other users: f.ex. PK-Tekniikka, Ruukki Metals, Peikko, etc.

25 Some specific examples of industrial thermal spraying Coating of paper industry rolls and cylinders Gas turbines Thermal spray jobshops Spray materials and monitoring equipment

26 Finnish TS companies Valmet Technologies World-leading manufacturer of paper machines Effective use of TS technology mainly in production of hard coatings for paper machine rolls and cylinders Example: center press roll with a ceramic coating in replacement of granite roll Several other roll covers (hard and soft) in various positions of paper machines Proprietary coatings and technologies Development activities in Finland Several persons graduated from Tampere Univ. Tech. have been hired by Valmet Technologies/Metso Paper Active R&D collaboration

27 Finnish TS companies Valmet Technologies

28 Large paper machine center press roll with a thermally sprayed ceramic coating (Metso Paper Inc.)

29 Finnish TS companies Patria Aviation Long-term experience in engine overhaul and repair Located in Linnavuori near Nokia Sulzer Metco Multicoat system Robotic spraying (HVOF, plasma, flame, arc) Examples: aero engine parts R&D collaboration

30 Finnish TS companies Kuopion Konepaja Long-term experience in thermal spraying and maintenance An SME located in Kuopio Examples: FS and fusing (pics) Robotic HVOF spraying Several other coating applications R&D collaboration

31 On-site coating by PR Rolls Oy On-site spraying; examples: HVOF spraying in Indonesia and in Africa

32 Finnish TS companies Millidyne An SME located in Tampere Spin-off company from Tampere University of Technology Business idea: to solve customer s surface problems using tailored surface chemistry Spray powder production ceramic powders; nanotuned powders Advanced sealants for thermal spray coatings R&D collaboration

33 Finnish TS companies Oseir Long-term experience in development and manufacturing of thermal spray on-line monitors SprayWatch and HiWatch product line An SME located in Tampere Spin-off company from Tampere University of Technology Active R&D collaboration
