The Process Of Los Angeles Metalizing

By Helen Mitchell


Metalization is a process of protection where certain metallic structures are coated appropriately. It works as a substitute for painting structural steel to make it long lasting. The metals are metalized either before construction or at the site of usage. Los Angeles Metalizing is an agency that ensures the procedure is achieved.

Galvanising differs from metalizing in that, the former employs the technique of plunging the particular metal into the smelted solvent as well as bathing it while in metalizing, Aluminium and Zinc are gushed on the metal exterior hence making the whole progression be known as cold practice. However the destruction and distortion caused by heat is very minimal. This method can be repeated all year round considering there is no boundary to temperature.

There are various types of the procedure. For example, there is thermal spraying. Heat is used. The coating matter is made into liquid and spraying is done on the surface of the substrate. The spraying is done at very high velocity. A powdered solvent is the ideal coating solution.

The original form of thermal spray was flame spraying. The basic principle of welding spray is used. The molten particles are then pushed over the face at very high velocity. The bonding strength and coat density are enhanced by fusing the coatings.

Electric wire can also be used. The wire is subjected to charging and then placed into contact with the substrate to develop an arc. There is the spraying of the powder or solvent onto it in a bid to atomize and propel the coat. High velocities are used. This procedure allows room for making adjustments in order to achieve the texture needed. Aluminium and zinc are the type of metallic materials that make use of this practice.

The use of great velocity oxy-fuels can also be one method of acquiring this effect. This method uses the simple norm of burning. Oxygen is combusted with hydrogen or propane, depending on the one that can be easily obtained. However, the scheme on the spray gun is slightly dissimilar from the one that is normally used to spray oxy-fuels. High temperatures are produced at high speeds, the desired results being a well liquefied powder and some energy that is made obtainable in order to be used in levelling the surface. The end result is a bond that is much stronger than those achieved in earlier developments.

A vacuum machine can also be used to metalize. It has a chamber where aluminium is subjected to heat treating until it melts into tiny particles. The metal in question is supported onto a chilled drum. This is then passed over the evaporation source. The protective layer is formed once the condensation process has taken place. This method gives a more attractive outcome. Water vapour and oxygen is greatly reduced to similar levels as those of metal and glass containers. The packaging used is also improved. The result achieved is greatly enhanced in that its shelf life is elongated. Hence, there is improvement of the quality produced.

Metalizing Los Angeles has skilled personnel that run the procedure. They handle various types of substrates. This has led to emergence of state of the art technology and metalization lines. This translates to production of a wide variety of products.
