Thermal metal spraying of truck chassis: zinc spraying and aluminium metal spraying. Our partners often build trucks and trailers for demanding foreign customers, to be put into service in special conditions. We have the surface treatment technologies needed to produce anti-corrosion coatings on steel structures built to these criteria.
Our grit blasting chamber can also handle the surface preparation of 12 m long truck chassis, to surface quality Sa 2.5-Sa 3. On the properly prepared steel structure we apply metal coatings of up to 200-500 microns, using highly corrosion-resistant zinc, aluminium and special zinc/aluminium alloys. Thanks to their microporosity, these coatings bind the industrial paint applied over them: the paint is absorbed into and diffuses through the upper layers, creating a transitional metal/paint layer. On top of this comes a UV-resistant topcoat, usually polyurethane-based, which extends the corrosion life cycle and enhances appearance, with the aim of achieving a corrosion life of more than 20 years.
We carry out the process with state-of-the-art Arc Spray and Flame Spray equipment and extensive professional experience. Aluminium metal coatings deliver excellent results in polluted urban and industrial areas and in coastal zones exposed to salty sea air.
We have a wide range of materials (zinc, aluminium and their alloys) for different corrosive conditions.
And the end result:
