Metal Spraying Services
Here at dahl-beck electric, we utilize the Sulzer Metco 5P Powder System at our facility.
In the metal spraying process, the raw material in the form of powder is melted in an oxygen-fuel gas flame inside the spray gun. This molten material is atomized by a cone of compressed air and propelled toward the work piece. The molten spray solidifies on the component surface to form a dense, strongly adherent coating suitable for machining.

This metal spraying process is used to build-up specific motor or pump fits that are damaged, worn or out of tolerance. We often use this process to build-up bearing housings, journals and seal areas before machining them to specified dimensions.
With the aid of photographs we have attempted to depict a typical metal spraying job.
