Our challenge with this component was to apply an electrically conductive coating, which in turn had to be electrically insulated from the basic material. A solution was found by coating the component with an electrically insulating ceramic material that was applied with plasma spraying.

To achieve electrical conductivity of the uppermost layer, the ceramic insulator was topped with a copper coating, applied by cold spraying. The multiple techniques required to complete this component demonstrate that only a company like obz innovation gmbh, which posseses the equipment and expertise to utilize many different spray technologies, is capable of successfully undertaking such a project.
