What is the production cost of ceramic coatings

Hits: 82 img

The production cost of ceramic coatings is relatively high, and the following is an analysis of its cost composition:
Equipment investment cost: Ceramic coating preparation often uses technologies such as plasma spraying and supersonic flame spraying, which require specialized equipment such as plasma spraying equipment and supersonic flame (HVOF) spraying equipment. These equipment are expensive, usually ranging from tens of thousands to millions of yuan, and require subsequent investment in equipment maintenance, upkeep, and regular updates.
Raw material cost: The main raw materials include ceramic powders such as alumina and zirconia, as well as some auxiliary materials and gases. These ceramic powders have high purity requirements, complex production processes, and are relatively expensive. Moreover, during the spraying process, some raw materials may be wasted due to incomplete adhesion and other reasons, which increases the cost of raw materials.
Process control cost: The preparation of ceramic coatings requires strict control of process parameters, such as temperature, gas flow rate, and spraying distance, to ensure the bonding strength, hardness, porosity, and other performance indicators of the coating. This requires professional technicians to operate and monitor, as well as extensive process testing and optimization. In addition, professional testing equipment such as hardness testers and electron microscopes are needed for coating quality inspection, further increasing costs.
Energy cost: In the preparation process, plasma spraying requires a large amount of electricity to generate high-temperature plasma, while supersonic flame spraying requires a large amount of energy such as gas, and energy cost accounts for a relatively large proportion of production cost.
Labor cost: From coating process design, equipment operation to quality inspection, professional technicians and operators are required, who need to possess high professional knowledge and skills, resulting in high labor costs.
Production efficiency cost: The deposition rate of ceramic coatings is relatively slow, and the production cycle is long. For some large automotive components or mass-produced parts, it may take a long time to complete coating preparation, resulting in lower production per unit time and increased production costs per unit product.
