Metalizing Wire | Metalizing Wire Manufacturer in India
From: sand blasting hopper
The metalizing wire used in the thermal spray gun for the coating process. Coating provides over the substrate with a different method. Thermal spraying is done to increase the life of the substrate and prevent it from corrosion in even the hardest condition. The selection of metalizing wire in the thermal spray is based on the application of the substrate on which coating to be done. Metalizing wires are used in pure form as well as in alloy form also.
Types of metalizing wire
Zinc wire
Zinc Wire is present in a variety of diameter and mostly used in small, voids and uncoated areas which are not readily accessible. Zinc wire coating has more resistance in hard water and less in soft water. Zinc wire is mostly used in pH range 6 to 12. Zinc coating has poor resistance in any water above 60 degrees Celsius. Zinc wire coating has poor resistance to almost all organic and inorganic acids. Zinc is mostly used as a primer on surfaces to form electrically conductive surfaces on glass and ceramics. Zinc wire also used in alloy form depends upon the application.
Applications
- Atmospheric and immersion corrosion protection on large steel or iron structures like bridges, roadway barriers, posts and poles, offshore structures, and marine structures.
- Corrosion protection on steel or iron substrate such as tanks and gas bottles.
Aluminum wire
Aluminum wire is used in the coating process and drawn to a variety of diameters for use in a flame spray gun and arc spray gun system. Aluminum wire has useful characteristics that include resistance to the atmosphere, chemical, and heat corrosion. Aluminum wires are good electrical conductors. Aluminum wire coating tends to form an oxide film that protects it from further attack.
Aluminum wire coatings used for cathodic corrosion protection in atmospheric and salt/freshwater immersion, with application areas such as oil refining equipment, chemical processing equipment, boat bottom interiors exposed to bilge water, and other similar types of exposure. It increases the life of the substrate by 15-50 years without maintenance.
Applications
- General industry: Cathodic corrosion protection coating on steel structures such as bridges and water towers in which the coating can be used alone and a very good bond and protective undercoat for organic materials.
- Aviation: to provide coatings on fiberglass panels for static dispersion and corrosion protection of outer casings.
- Automotive: coating on high-temperature corrosion protection on exhaust valves.
- Electronics: coating over an electrical conductance on components such as conductive areas on insulators, capacitor end caps, and varistors.
