How Does Plasma Spray Work? A Step-by-Step Process
At Metallisation, we work with plasma spray systems that support demanding industrial needs across aerospace, energy, engineering and manufacturing. This article explains how plasma spray works, step by step, in clear and simple terms. What Is Plasma Spray? Plasma spray is a thermal spray process that uses a high temperature

How Does Arc Spray Work? A Step-by-Step Process
At Metallisation, we’ve spent over 100 years leading the way in metal and thermal spray technology. Arc spray is a trusted method for protecting and rebuilding parts across many industries. Here’s a clear, step-by-step look at how it works. What Is Arc Spray? Arc spray is a thermal spray process

What is Corrosion Under Insulation?
CUI is one of the most expensive forms of corrosion to deal with in the oil, gas, chemical and power sectors. Understanding what it is, why it happens, and how it can be managed is key to protecting equipment and avoiding unnecessary downtime. What is CUI? Corrosion under insulation (often

Zinc Metal Spray Coatings for Steel
We take a look at zinc metal spray coatings – one of the best solutions for protecting steel from rust and corrosion. What Is a Zinc Coating? A zinc coating is a layer of zinc that’s added to the surface of steel. It stops rust from forming. This is because

How Long Do Thermal Spray Coatings Last?
If you’re new to thermal spraying, you may wonder how long these protective coatings really last. The short answer? A long time. But the exact lifespan depends on a few key things. In this post, we’ll break it all down in a simple and clear way. What is a Thermal

Improve Coatings with Refrigerated Air Dryers
In this blog we talk about optimising component life and providing superior coatings by using a refrigerated compressed air dryer. All Atmospheric Air Contains Water! When the air is compressed, the water concentration increases and without any further process this air/water mix will ultimately be deposited on the surface of
