The main advantages of thermal spraying of cutting tools include:
1. Extended Tool Life: The thermal spraying process can form a layer of high-hardness, wear-resistant material on the tool surface, thereby increasing its lifespan.
2. Improved Corrosion Resistance: The thermal spray coating typically exhibits superior corrosion resistance, effectively preventing the tool from corrosion and oxidation.
3. Enhanced Wear Resistance: The higher hardness of thermal spray materials improves the tool's resistance to wear, making it suitable for high-intensity cutting and abrasive environments.
4. Damage Repair: For lightly damaged tools, thermal spraying can be used to repair and restore their performance.
5. Customization: The thermal spraying process can be customized according to the specific requirements of applications, meeting the varied demands of different industrial sectors for tool performance.
