Anti Corrosion Metal Spray Systems

We can spray a range of Zinc and Aluminium metal coatings by gas combustion or electric arc method to offer a long life protection against corrosion.

 

Zinc
Zinc metal spray applied by gas combustion or electric arc process will provide a long life coating of 10 to 25 years. Zinc is suitable for protection up to 200°C. This process is often specified in preference to galvanising for its ease of application without the need for drilling of drain/vent holes and to avoid the risk of distortion.

Aluminium
Aluminium metal spray will give a superior protection than Zinc specifically in sub-sea and saline conditions. It has the added advantage of a protection against temperatures of 400°C when applied using the Electric Arc process.

This shaft is used to monitor the quality of molten steel in a foundry. Here it is having it’s load bearing area coated with molybdenum to prevent wear. Both spraying and post machining are carried out at our Bristol works.
Bottom section of power station band screen shown after refurbishment at our Bristol works. This item operates immersed in sea water as part of a nuclear power station cooling water system. The mild steel frame has been protected by the application of 250 microns of zinc metal spray and sealed with an aluminium pigmented sealer. This system will protect the structure for a minimum of 20 years.
This structure is a work of art and represents a stage curtain. It stands 6 metres high and is situated outside a Theatre in the North of England. This structure was given it’s corrosion protection by the application of 150 microns of zinc metal spraying followed by a 2-coat epoxy paint system.
Mild steel pipe section shown here during the application of aluminium metal spray by the electric arc process. This coating will provide protection in temperatures of 2000C in a coastal environment.
