Thermal Spray Industrial Applications are pivotal in protecting surfaces and components against high temperatures and harsh environments. Industries that utilize arc spray systems and spray wires include defense, oil & gas, and wind energy. Thermion spray systems are used in the defense industry to protect surfaces and components against high temperatures and harsh environments. Thermal spray coatings are often used on the surfaces of flight decks on sea vessels for protection and non-skid characteristics to be applied to the decks on which aircraft land.

The use of thermal spray systems in the oil & gas industry is plentiful. In this industry, long-lasting and reliable components are depended on, and the application of thermal spray to parts ensures extended life. Coatings applied to parts in both onshore and offshore operations assist in protection against corrosion, erosion, extreme temperatures, and strengthening seals to reduce the chance of leaking.

The applications of industrial thermal spray machines are beneficial for the wind energy industry, dominantly for wind turbine towers. Wind turbine towers are often located where there can be extreme environmental conditions, and need measures to be taken to protect these structures from wear and corrosion. Both onshore and offshore wind turbine towers can profit from the application of thermal spray as it protects not only joints and bolts used to assemble the towers but also shields the entire exterior of the tower itself from the elements. Zinc alloy thermal spray coatings are used most often for these applications.
