Thermal Spray Deep Dive: HVOF, Plasma, Flame | Peter Ambuehl Q&A

Peter Ambuehl is back for an open and in-depth discussion on Thermal Spray Technology. After our previous interview series on thermal spray coatings, Peter returns for an interactive Q&A session, answering real technical questions and sharing hands-on experience from decades in coating and surface engineering. In this episode, we discuss thermal spray fundamentals, process selection, productivity, coating quality, and real industrial decision-making, including comparisons with laser cladding.
