NADCAP is the aerospace industry leader for the recognition and continuous progressive development of world-class companies. Promoted by Rolls Royce (Derby) and audited and administered by PRI (the Performance Review Institute) who represent major prime contractors such as Rolls-Royce, GE, Pratt Witney, Honeywell. PRI state that “The NADCAP seal is a sign of unique aerospace quality accreditation. A supplier who meets the standards of a NADCAP audit is recognised as an industry leader”. Each successfully approved company must meet rigorous and exacting criteria for quality and control for the aerospace and automotive industries”.

BMS&PC has been applying PLASMA & THERMAL sprayed coatings for the aero engine industry for many years . “We are proud of our involvement with some of the finest aero engines in the world including Trent, Pegasus, Olympus RB199, RB211, EJ200 including our involvement with R&D development projects such as the J.S.F” .

Plasma Spraying (Rolls Royce RPS 392 and 629)
Using very high temperature plasma arc flame coating material is melted and propelled onto a surface cooling rapidly to provide a coating. This process is capable of spraying materials with a high melt temperature. Plasma spray coatings are applied for a range of reasons such as :

Protection against Wear and Frett with the deposition of :
Tungsten Carbide Chromium CarbideChrome OxideAluminum Oxide
To provide a Thermal Barrier using:
Magnesium Zirconate Yttria Stabilised Zirconia
To protect against corrosion or salvage components with:
Nickel Aluminum CompositesMolybedenum Nickel CompositesChrome Steels

Thermal Spraying (Rolls Royce RPS 427)
This process involves using a gas flame to melt material forming a fine spray which is propelled by gas and air onto a surface to provide a coating. A wide range of powder coating materials can be applied by this method. This spray method is primarily used to deposit a range of abradable or sacrificial coatings many of which are used in the aerospace industry such as :

Nickel Graphite Nickel AluminiumPolyester Aluminium AlloyAluminium Graphite

Combustion Wire Spraying (Rolls Royce RPS300, Airbus ABP1-3038 & Boeing 51-70-14 & 51-40-11)

A flame spray process which melts metal wire and uses compressed air to propel the molten/atomised material onto a surface to provide a solidified coating. This process is used for applications where a fine/dense coating is not required such as:-

Our NADCAP accreditation is proof that we are committed to continual improvement and we have already increased turnover in the aero-engine section of our business. We are looking for new business opportunities in this and would welcome your enquiry.
