Metal Arc Spray for Long-Term Corrosion Protection
Metal arc spray is a highly effective corrosion protection solution for steel structures operating in harsh and abrasive environments.
It provides a durable, long-life coating that can be applied on-site or in the workshop - making it a practical alternative to traditional systems such as hot dip galvanising and epoxy coatings.
Key Benefits of Metal Arc Spray
|  |
Metal Arc Spray vs Traditional Coatings
| Feature | Metal Arc Spray | Hot Dip Galvanising | Epoxy / Paint Coatings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corrosion Protection | Excellent (zinc/aluminium systems) | Excellent | Moderate to good (system dependent) |
| Application Location | Workshop or on-site | Off-site only (requires galvanising bath) | Workshop or on-site |
| Size Limitations | No practical limit | Limited by bath size | No practical limit |
| Heat Impact on Steel | None (cold process) | High (molten zinc immersion) | None |
| Suitability for Repairs | Excellent | Not suitable | Good (surface dependent) |
| Durability in Harsh Environments | High | High | Moderate |
| Maintenance Requirements | Low | Low | Moderate to high |
| Typical Use Case | Large structures, refurbishment, corrosion protection | New steel components | General protection, lower cost applications |
