What is the thermal spraying process?
The thermal spraying process involves using an electric arc to melt two wires which are then fed into a pistol and atomised by the flow of compressed air. This creates a coating that applies onto the substrate being sprayed. In order to avoid the risk of distortion, we use a twin arc spray which has low thermal loading on the substrate.
Typical applications
- Zinc and Aluminum can be applied to provide protection from wear and corrosion.
- An Aluminum based coating can be used for non-slip applications.
- Copper can be used for alloys with non-sparking requirements.
Benefits of thermal spraying
- Strong and durable surface finish
- High quality and cost effective
- Temperature is low throughout the spray process
- Durable and highly resistant to corrosion and wear
- Extends the lifetime performance of new components
