What is flame spraying?
Flame Spraying is the original method of thermal spraying and has been used across a wide range of industries for over 100 years. The flame spraying process utilises an oxy-acetylene flame to apply the thermal coating. The heat from the flame melts the coating material and compressed air propels it onto the product being sprayed. The flame spraying process is known as a ‘cold’ process as the substrate temperature can be kept low throughout.
Examples of flame spray coatings
Flame spray coatings include abradable coatings such as:
- Nickel Graphite
- Nickel Chrome
- Nickel Aluminium
or pure metals such as:
- Zinc
- Chromium
- Molybdenum
- Aluminium
