Thermal Spraying

Metalock Engineering are one of the leading specialists in Thermal Spraying – Surface Treatments.

Common Applications.

• Repair and Reconditioning.
• Anti-Corrosion.
• Heat Shield.
• Erosion Prevention.
• Insulation.

Metalock Engineering has highly trained specialists who work in the workshop and on site to provide the highest quality Thermal Spraying techniques and achieve high specification results on all types of components.

We can deposit all major materials such as

• Steel.
• Tungsten Carbide.
• Chrome Carbide.
• Ceramics and Plastic Composite.

Using the following techniques,

• High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF).
• Flame spraying.
• Arc Spraying.
• Plasma Spraying.

Coating by Thermal Spraying involves heating material in either a powder or wire form to a molten or semi molten state and propelling it using a stream of gas or compressed air to deposit a layer on the surface of the parent component. This process can be repeated many times allowing the technician to build up series of layers.

The coating material may consist of a single element but it is more often an alloy or composite with unique physical properties that are only achievable through the Thermal Spraying Process.
