What Does HVOF Stand For?

HVOF stands for High Velocity Oxygen Fuel

HVOF, or High Velocity Oxygen Fuel, is a thermal spray coating technique used to enhance the surface properties of materials. This process involves the combustion of a fuel and oxygen mixture, which generates a high-speed stream of hot gas. The system sprays powdered coatings onto substrates at supersonic speeds, leading to the formation of dense and well-adhered coatings. HVOF is widely used in various industries for applications requiring increased wear resistance, corrosion protection, and improved surface performance.
