"The gas-detonation method is one of the most perspective gas-thermal methods of coating applying,
the main advantages of this method are as follows:
Very high adhesive strength (up to 350 mPa);
The highest stability and reliability of coatings as compared with other gas-thermal methods;
Wide range of adjustment of physical-chemical properties of coatings;
Unavailability of part overheating;
Possibility to apply the coating of heterogeneous materials which are impossible to be
obtained by using traditional methods;
Possibility to machine the parts of any shape and dimensions. "
