- Oldest Thermal Spray process
- Oxy-acetylene flame (or other fuels)
- Powder injected into flame
- Particles travel to substrate
- Lower temperatures and velocities than newer thermal spray processes
- Economical
Resulting Properties
- Lower adhesion (bond strength) than newer thermal spray technologies
- Lower density than newer thermal spray technologies
- Good process for soft metal coatings
- Process of choice for certain abradable coatings
- Good process for economical ceramic coatings
