Application Examples
Please note that some of the applications listed below are relative to particular Flame Spray systems. Contact us if you have any questions.
Typical applications can be broken down into two different categories – anti-corrosion and engineering coatings.
Anti-corrosion coatings are applied to generally protect steelwork from a corrosive atmosphere with the most commonly sprayed materials being zinc, aluminium and their alloys. Common application examples include the spraying of steel bridges, in-situ pipework in petrochemical refineries, street furniture and vehicle chassis’.
Engineering coatings cover a much wider range of applications where the coating could, for example, provide a wear protection surface, a thermal barrier coating or an electrically conductive path. Common applications include spraying steels to build up worn or mis-machined areas on a variety of components, conductive heater elements on carbon fibre wing edges and hard molybdenum coatings on selector forks.
