Spark Depo

SparkDepo is a revolutionary coating method that uses electric sparks to deposit wear-resistant materials like tungsten carbide and chromium carbide onto machine parts, tools, and dies. It prolongs their life by making them more durable and resistant to wear, heat, and corrosion. SparkDepo coatings can reduce or eliminate the need for frequent repair and maintenance, increasing productivity and lowering production costs. The process is easy to operate, portable, and economical, and can coat surfaces on-site and in confined areas, producing a strong bond at very low heat.

SparkDepo (Electro-Spark Deposition)

This procedure is common in Japan and in the USA. The owner of the company was trained for
usage of the device in Japan, at the manufacturer. In Hungary we are the only ones applying this
method in repairs. The SparkDepo process is a revolutionary method of renewing worn surfaces
by deposition of wear resistant materials with electric sparks. SparkDepo coatings of tungsten
carbide and chromium carbide can prolong the lives of machine parts, dies, molds, and tools that
are subjected to wear, heat and corrosion. Thick alloy deposit is also possible for repair and
maintenance. Frequent repair and maintenance can be reduced or even eliminated by
using SparkDepo, thus increasing productivity or reducing the production cost. SparkDepo is easy
to operate, portable, and economical. It can be used on-site and in confined areas. The coating is
produced under very low heat input but has a very high bond strength. Direct current from the
power supply will heat the electrode to 8,000 to 25,000 degrees C only at the contact areas and
transfers a small quantity of the electrode to the work piece under an ionized state and produces
a strong metallurgical bonding.
Applicaton areas:
 worn axles, bearing bushings (for example engine shields), sealing bushes, if the application of a very
thin layer (0,01-0,4 mm) is required
 reparation of smaller failures of casting-, press-, punching- and other tools
 forming of very hard W-, Ti-, Cr-carbid, Ti-borid layers (65-75 HRC)
 forming of thin, corrosion-resistant platings (AL, Cu, Zn, Sn, Ti, Ni)
 applying onto cutting tools edges with hard metal
 applying of edges of borings, cutting tools, and hard metal plates
 forming of carbid (W, Ti, Cr, Mo, Zr, Nb, V) coatings
 coating cutting tools and medical tools edges
 Stellit, Hastelloy, Inconel, Co, Ni, Ti, Mo, Au, Ag, Pt bevonatok kialakítása
 forming of Stellit, Hastelloy, Inconel, Co, Ni, Ti, Mo, Au, Ag, Pt coatings

Advantages:
 a very thin, extremely hard layer can be applied
 a slight heat is given onto the raw material, therefore the originally hard parts can be repaired without
the danger of cracking and deformation
 mobile, suitable for repairing of built-in tools also on site
 needs minimal fore- and afterworking
 the part can be built in after the reparation immediately, no need to wait for cool-off and heat-
treatment
 it can be applied fast, reduces the downtime, therefore cost-effective
 due to the chemical- and corrosion-resistance and hardness of the coatings, the lifespan can be
multipied (3-10x)
