THERMAL SPRAY METAL COATINGS

Aerospace Applications     Industrial/Commercial Applications

This is a specialized thermal spray process that allows custom fabrication and part repair. Arc Spray is the most effective method available for component restoration, corrosion protection, custom manufactured coating and wear resistance.

The traditional thermal spray process utilizes heat to melt the wires that are then sprayed onto the substrate, often causing it to distort and go through metallurgical changes due to the transfer of heat.

This problem has been eliminated by the Arc Spray, an advanced thermal spray process that uses electric current to melt the wires and then uses compressed air instead of gas to spray the molten particles.

Since the applied particles carry very little heat to the substrate, this method can be used in virtually any application. The low heat output of this innovative process guarantees that other dimensions and heat-treated areas remain unaffected, allowing us to spray internal as well as external surfaces.

West Coast Weld Tech can even spray metal onto plastic. This attribute makes the process ideal for many industries and applications where other techniques fall short. We can spray a wide selection of metals with a tensile strength of up to 10,000 pounds per square inch.

Arc Spray delivers a consistent coating every time and can restore worn parts to better than new condition. It is a cost effective alternative to the chroming of worn journals and is currently being used by the aerospace, pulp and paper, printing, marine, refrigeration and oil industries.

At West Coast Weld Tech our experienced, highly trained personnel combine cutting edge technology with their passion for innovation to deliver results that consistently meet or exceed the expectations of our clients. The result is the impressive list of I.R.C.'s we have written and our reputation as an industry leader.
