Ultimate corrosion protection for your project - Metal Arc Spray - the flexible, reliable solution.
Updated: Mar 6
You’ve probably noticed that The Connect Group’s teams provide a wide range of asset protection services to the construction sector. We thought we’d take some time to introduce to you to a few of them, what they are and the benefits they have to your projects.
First up - it’s a service our ComBlast team recently completed 5000 m2 of - Metal Arc Spray!
Metal Arc Spray is a flexible, reliable, and manageable solution, which produces quality, fine surface finish coatings. Comparable, but not to be confused with Hot Dip Galvanising (because arc spraying is used to restore corrosion protection on damaged areas of welded galvanised steel) Metal Arc Spray has been designed for all anti-corrosion applications.
We Metal Arc Spray to AS/NZS 2312.3 standards and offer strict QA systems to ensure your project is compliant.
More about Metal Arc Spray
The process is not limited to Zinc Arc Spray. The coating material may be selected specifically for the environment
There is no limit to the size of the article which can be treated
Articles can be treated at ComBlast, or onsite, by our ComBlast Mobile team
Sealed hollow fabrications may be treated without risk of explosion (no holes!)
Low heat input during spraying eliminates the risk of thermal distortion
Low heat input eliminates the risk of thermal metallurgical degradation
Coating thickness may be varied from place to place to provide extra protection in critical areas
Strict controls and quality assurance processes ensure that your assets will be protected
Anything from washers, right up to structural steel on buildings can be Metal Arc Sprayed.
Expert tip from the team:
On a project, always consider the end-use. For example, it may be easier to seal the Metal Arc Spray afterwards, with a primer. This will make it easier to paint the surface later on.
