What is it?
Metallizing is the process of spraying molten, or heated metal onto the surface of another material to form a coating. In its basic form, metalizing is an alternative to welding.
Pure or alloyed metal is melted in a flame and atomized by a flow of compressed air into a fine spray. This spray builds up onto a previously prepared surface to form a solid metal coating.
Sprayed metal is most commonly used for machine element work for building up worn parts or salvaging mis-machined parts. It is particularly useful for this class of work because the process does not heat up the parts and cause warpage.
Types of Metallizing offered:
-
Thermal Spray
-
Plasma Spray
