Thermal Spray Solutions Built for the Nuclear Sector
We support businesses across the nuclear supply chain with coatings that improve component longevity.
Supporting Critical Nuclear Infrastructure
In nuclear facilities, even small component failures can lead to costly downtime and operational disruption. Surface protection plays an important role in helping systems continue operating safely over long periods of time.
Our thermal spray coatings are commonly used to protect nuclear components from corrosion, erosion, abrasion and heat exposure. They can also restore worn parts back to operational tolerances without the need for full replacement. This can provide significant cost savings while helping maintain the integrity of critical equipment.
At Metallisation Ltd, we work on projects involving pumps, valves, pipework, turbines, containment systems, heat exchangers and many other engineered components used within nuclear operations.
Nuclear Corrosion Protection
Our thermal spray coatings provide a protective barrier that helps shield base materials from corrosive attack. This is particularly important for components operating in cooling systems, offshore nuclear environments and processing facilities where long-term reliability is essential.
Arc spray aluminium and zinc aluminium coatings are widely used for corrosion protection on structural steelwork and large infrastructure assets. Nickel-based coatings are often selected where higher temperature resistance and chemical protection are required.
By protecting the surface of the component, thermal spray coatings can help reduce maintenance requirements and extend service life.
Wear Resistance for High Performance Components
Our thermal spray coatings can also restore and protect critical surfaces against abrasive and erosive wear. Tungsten carbide coatings, for example, are commonly used where high hardness and wear resistance are required.
These coatings are often applied to shafts, sealing surfaces, rollers, valves and pump components where maintaining tight tolerances is important.
