Thermal spray coating can be applied on a wide range of metallic and non-metallic substrates. Typically ferrous metals have zinc or zinc/aluminum alloys applied for corrosion protection. This process has exhibited superior corrosion characteristic over galvanizing processes. Alloys that have been sprayed include zinc, zinc/aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, tin, stainless steel, high profile aluminum, and anti-skid stainless steel textures. Specific environmental and application performance criteria need to be evaluated to determine the proper coating to be applied.
Thermal sprayed coatings can be specified for temperature and oxidation resistance, corrosion protection, slip and wear resistance, and decorative considerations.
Specialized application equipment is used to deliver the sprayed consumable to the substrate. This process can be manual or automated depending on the complexity of the part, the consistency of the coating thickness, and the quantity of the production order.
Performance testing can be provided to meet SSPC, ASTM, and AWS specifications. Surtech Industries follows an ISO 9000 compliant Quality System.

Thermal spraying is a group of processes in which a finely divided metallic or non-metallic surfacing materials are deposited in a molten or semi molten condition on a prepared substrate to form a spray deposit.
