Corrosion of metal is a problem faced by
many engineers world-wide, particularly when placing components into severe
handling and varying climatic conditions.
The corrosion of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinders is an example of
this problem. Metallisation in answer to this, are world renowned for
their automated thermal spray plants for LPG cylinders. The plants being
either vertical or horizontal in their operation and their specification
tailored to meet the customer's requirement, eg. Shell, Calor Gas, etc.
Other anti-corrosion applications include longitudinally welded steel
tube, seagoing containers, bridge structures, etc. |

| The harsh working conditions of an automotive
engine has seen the requirement for thermal sprayed wear resistant surfaces
increase over the past years. Molybdenum and composites containing molybdenum
to provide anti-scuffing and anti-galling are used to provide the necessary
protection to gearbox parts, cylinder liners, water pump seals, turbocharger
turbine cases, exhaust manifolds, selector forks, piston rings and synchromesh
gears are all applications for the thermal spray process. The latter three
being treated in such quantities and requiring such consistency that they
are generally sprayed in their millions on automated thermal spray plants.

|
| The vast numbers of electronic components produced
make them a natural for automation where thermal spraying is involved. Foil
wound capacitors, carbon contacts, resistors, carbon conductors and computer
housings all have had their thermal spraying treatment automated. |
|
| Full design service for complete spray
cells to include acoustic rooms, extraction systems, robots and component
transportation. Full automation, full integration. |

The Metallisation range of standard
handling equipment is offered for use by the thermal spray contract/job
shop. The range offers rotating and scanning facilities allowing a wide
range of components to be automatically coated. |
