Thermal Spray Protection for Extreme Operating Conditions
We provide protective coatings for metal components exposed to high temperatures.
Protecting Steel from High Temperature Corrosion
Extreme heat creates a very different corrosion challenge. At elevated temperatures, metals can react more rapidly with oxygen and other elements in their operating environment, leading to oxidation, scaling and gradual deterioration of the surface.
Using our thermal spray solutions, a carefully selected metallic coating is applied directly to the prepared surface, forming a protective barrier over the underlying substrate.
For industrial equipment expected to remain operational for long periods, this additional protection can help extend component life and reduce the disruption associated with repair and replacement.
Aluminium Based Coatings
Aluminium based thermal spray coatings can provide protection against high temperature oxidation in suitable applications.
Specialist Alloy Coatings
More aggressive applications may require specialist alloys selected for the particular conditions involved.
Our team can help determine the thermal spray process, equipment and coating material best suited to the temperatures and conditions involved in your application.
What Can Be Protected from High Temperature Corrosion?
High temperature corrosion protection is required across industries where equipment is routinely subjected to heat, oxidation and aggressive process conditions.
This includes:
- Furnaces and furnace components
- Boilers and associated equipment
- Exhaust systems and ducting
- Process vessels
- Industrial pipework
- Heat exchangers
- Chimneys, stacks and flues
- Petrochemical processing equipment
- Power generation equipment
- Waste processing and incineration equipment
- High temperature industrial components
The value of protecting these assets can extend well beyond the component itself. If corrosion leads to premature failure, businesses may face shutdowns, lost production and substantial repair costs.
Got a Project in Mind?
If heat and corrosion are reducing the working life of your equipment, or you’re looking to prevent future problems – tell us about the conditions you’re dealing with.
Give our team details of the asset, substrate, operating temperature and environment, and we’d be happy to help determine an appropriate thermal spray approach.
