Thermal Spray Metalizing Wire

Airo Shot Blast offers thermal spray and metalizing wire. Thermal spray wire is also called Arc spray wire and Metalizing wire. It is utilized as feed material for many coating operations, such as electric arc spray and flame wire(combustion wire) spray processes. Acknowledged worldwide for our 1/8″ 80/20 NiAl Bondrite, we also provide several sizes in Aluminum Bronze, Babbit, Copper, Aluminum, Tin, Zinc, Zinc/Aluminum, 202 Stainless Steel, 420 Stainless Steel, Molybdenum and several others and provide quotes for additional types and sizes. Our wires are reasonable in spools, coils, or payoff packs to best fit the needs of the customer.

Thermal Spray wire’s wire diameter is a key factor in the application. It is essential to have a close match between the thermal spray gun set-up and the wire size, so it is important to specify the wire diameter before buying and buy the thermal spray wire that is manufactured with precision diameter control.

To apply the aluminum/zinc spray wire, an arc or flame spray gun is utilized. This wire is made up of 15% aluminum and 85% zinc, and it provides a highly efficient method of protecting steel surfaces from corrosion. Zinc is utilized as a sacrificial metal, which means that it will corrode instead of the steel it's protecting. Conversely, aluminum acts as a passive barrier against corrosion. When zinc and aluminum are combined, they create a powerful sprayed coating that is resistant to corrosion.

The process of metalizing involves applying protective coatings to prevent corrosion, using methods such as thermal spraying. This can be achieved by melting metal in either powder or wire form and then spraying it onto a metal surface, which helps to improve its resistance to wear, prevent corrosion, promote adhesion, or restore its original dimensions.

When it comes to protecting steel surfaces or structures, using an aluminum coating is particularly effective as it acts as a sacrificial coating due to its anodic properties. Thermal spray wires made of aluminum are particularly useful for preventing cathodic corrosion when exposed to the atmosphere, salt, or freshwater. These wires are used in a variety of applications, including oil-refining equipment, boat interiors, chemical processing equipment, and more.

Aluminum Wire:

Aluminum is supplied to a wire mill as a rod. The aluminum raw substance is typically bought in a 3/8” (0.375”) or 9.5mm coil. The rod is a scar coil of aluminum that has either been cast to size or rolled. During the manufacturing process of the rod, each batch is assigned a unique lot or heat number. This heat/lot of aluminum will then be prepared into the final rod state. The coils produced from a single heat/lot will have a common chemical makeup. From heat to heat (or lot to lot), the chemical makeup of the aluminum may change within the ranges allowed for the appropriate grade.
The aluminum rod is then cold-drawn to fulfill the desire final wire diameter. This is achieved by drawing through a series of tapered carbide or diamond dies. Each die will reduce the wire diameter between 20% and 30% perdie. Typically wire used in metalizing will use 10-15 dies to achieve final size. Depending on the special alloy and desired final properties, the process may involve heat treatments either prior to drawing, as an intermediate step, or following drawing. The drawing process requires a lubricant to allow the aluminum to be pulled through the dies. This lubricant can be either be dry or liquid form. In the case of metalizing, Aluminum Wire lubricant is finally cleaned from the wire by a kind of method (either in-line or during a subsequent processing step). At the completion of the drawing process, the wire is packaged onto large spools for handling and additional processing.

Zinc Wire

The zinc/aluminum wire is used mainly in the maritime sector and in the offshore industry as metallization with zinc/aluminum provides extremely durable corrosion protection. There are several things to get into consideration when choosing zinc wire for metallization. You have to find out what your needs are; the durability of the corrosion protection layer, the amount of dust during the metallization, and how large a surface to deal with before deciding what kind of wire you need for your metallization job.

Metallization Wire for foreign and in the maritime sector, and where a high degree of corrosion protection is required, metalizing is the most reliable source for a coating structure. Metallization is a surface treatment that is always applied to a 100% clean, dry, and shot blasted surface. Metallization is manually utilized with a special metallization system, and it is possible for purposes in different thicknesses according to customer needs.
