Metalizing

“Protect metal surfaces from corrosion and oxidation using a metalizing process to apply Thermal Sprayed Aluminum (TSA), Zinc or other non corrosive metals.”

The metalizing process is a procedure where molten metal, usually zinc, aluminum or stainless steel, is applied to a metal substrate such as carbon steel to prevent corrosion.  Metalizing is quickly gaining acceptance in the United States as a substitute for painting structural steel and protects steel for decades longer than paint alone. This is a proven process which has been used around the world for 90 years. Metalizing is widely accepted in Europe as an upgrade from paint for multiple process applications and infrastructure projects where corrosion is an issue.

Steel of every shape and size may be metalized either in-shop prior to construction or on-site after the steel has been erected.  Onsite is also a viable option for ongoing maintenance instead of less effective painting. Metalizing is the most versatile and effective coating for protecting steel infrastructure available today.

Bridges and other structures have been metalized for decades. It is well documented that these coatings protect steel for 30 years or more.

Atmospheric and immersion service. Metalized structures include bridges, dam gates, harbor installations, buoys, power transmission poles, tanks and piping.

High temperature coatings. Gas pipeline compressor mufflers, gas turbine silencers, flairs, chimneys & stacks, coal fired boiler tubes, and other high service temperature structures may be coated for long term corrosion control.
