Short answer: Thermal spray deposits molten or semi-molten metal/ceramic onto a surface to build wear, corrosion or thermal resistance without heating the part — from zinc/aluminum arc spray for structures to HVOF tungsten carbide for extreme wear.

How Thermal Spray Works
A gun propels feedstock (wire or powder) that melts and impacts the substrate as a bonded coating. It complements Hot Dip Galvanizing Process en Zinc Plating Vs Galvanizing for corrosion; finishing in Metal Surface Treatment Guide.
Methods & Materials
Arc/flame spray zinc-aluminum for structures; plasma for ceramics; HVOF for dense tungsten-carbide wear coats; cold spray for repair without heat. Corrosion context in Galvanic Corrosion Guide.
Toepassingen
Bridges, ship decks, turbine blades, rolls, pistons and restored shafts. Quality and thickness verified per Mill Test Certificate Guide practice.
