Flame Spray Thermal Coating
Flame spray is one of the earliest forms of Thermal Coating. The equipment is
now more sophisticated but runs very similar to the earlier models.
Oxygen and acetylene are used for the combustion gases. Powder alloys are fed
into the combustion chamber and propelled to a substrate surface. This system
generates a lot more heat directly onto the substrate surface.

| At IST we use this system primarily for delivering Titanium
alloys which are used as a corrosion barrier against the effects of CL02
on stainless steel. Other applications include a spray and fuse process
used for manufacturing pump sleeves for the Pulp & Paper Industry as
well as the Oil & Gas industry.

Since the introduction of Twin Wire Arc Spray systems the
Flame Spray systems are not used as much anymore. Arc Spray delivers at
a much cooler temperature and has a wider range of alloys available.
