Metal Spraying
Thermal spraying (aka metal spraying) is a surface engineering/coating process that sprays metals, ceramics and polymers onto the surface of another material. It’s widely used to provide corrosion protection to ferrous metals, as well as to change the item’s surface properties, for instance, to improve the wear resistance or thermal conductivity.
Challenge
Corrosion and wear are a major problem for a long list of industries, so many use a metal spraying process, including:
- Offshore
- Oil and gas
- Marine
- Tube, pipe, and general fabrication
- Petrochemical
- Construction
- Water supply
- Sewerage
- Ship building
Thermal spraying protects and extends the life of structures, equipment and vessels in many hostile environments and situations, where protective surface coatings are vital for longevity. Many will not have to have their first maintenance of the coating before 20 years’ service, even in harsh environments, leading to significant maintenance cost reductions.
Thermal spraying project small molten or softened particles onto a surface to adhere and form a continuous coating. The temperature increase of the coated part is minimal, meaning heat distortion is rare – a major advantage over hot-dipped galvanising or welding.
Value
Thermal spraying sealed with a durable paint application can extend the coating maintenance schedule of your installation, therefore saving you maintenance costs in the future.
