Thermal spraying - atmospheric plasma spray - tungsten carbide-cobalt - on carbon steel substrate (market for)

The activity generating the emissions is market for thermal spraying, atmospheric plasma spray, tungsten carbide-cobalt, on carbon steel substrate. The Reference Product is thermal spraying, atmospheric plasma spray, tungsten carbide-cobalt, on carbon steel substrate. This is delivering the service of thermal spraying, atmospheric plasma spray, tungsten carbide-cobalt, on carbon steel substrate. Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) is a coating process which uses a plasma jet gun to melt and accelerate a feedstock (in this dataset the powder is tungsten carbide-cobalt) which is deposited on the substrate (in this dataset it is carbon steel). The dataset represent the coating of 1 square metre of substrate (carbon steel) with a coating thickness of 450 micrometre. Atmospheric Plasma Spraying is used to apply ceramic, cermet, and metal coatings in several industry sectors. These coatings are designed to provide wear, erosion, cavitation, corrosion, abrasion, heat, and corrosion protection, or to give functional properties such as thermal insulation or biocompatibility. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity.
