"Metalizing" or metal spray: A term applied to pure metal sprayed coats (not paint) as opposed to other methods of applying metallic coatings such as hot dip galvanizing or electroplating. Metalizing equipment is mobile, appropriate for many complex shapes and not limited by size. Metalizing may be used alone or in combination with other coating systems, and drastically increases the adhesion of topcoats when they are applied over metalized coatings.

Babbit Spraying Compressor Cross Head

Prime Machine utilizes the three major types of spray methods, including the recently- developed high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) process.

The three types are; Flame or Arc Spray-and-Fuse, Plasma Spray, and HVOF.Carbide Coating Rod
