Thermal Spray, Hardfacing & Wear Coatings worked example
Deposition Rate at 99% deposition rate target rate: a worked example
What does the result look like when deposition rate target rate reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when deposition rate in thermal spray, hardfacing and wear coatings needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.
The inputs for this scenario
- Deposition Rate affected amount: 8 units (unchanged)
- Deposition Rate total amount: 250 units (unchanged)
- Deposition Rate target rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Deposition Rate rate = affected amount ÷ total amount) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for rate, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for affected count.
- At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total count.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where deposition rate target rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
- A figure at this level is achievable when deposition rate target rate is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It is a generic ratio model — it does not by itself measure mass deposition rate in lb/hr or deposition efficiency, so define clearly what your affected and total counts represent before reading the result.
Results at a glance
- Rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
- Gap to target: 95.8 points
- Affected count: 8 count
- Total count: 250 count
