ALMEN STRIPS are recognized as the industry-standard tools for achieving process control in shot peening. The test coupons are now getting attention in the field of High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coating sprays. HVOF utilizes combustible gas and oxygen to produce a flame that is directed at very high velocity through a gun by use of a converging, diverging nozzle arrangement. Powder is injected into the hot gas stream and softened, then impacted with very high kinetic energy onto the work piece layer by layer until the desired thickness is built up. The resultant coatings approach theoretical density and exhibit outstanding performance characteristics.
