The process of applying films of metals over surfaces by flame spraying had reached commercial significance around 1935. Most of the early applications were for protective coatings for steel but during the war much work was done for building up in reclaiming worn components. Since then the process has made steady progress and is now in regular use in various industries for those applications for which it has proved most suitable. With the high melting metals and alloys, the refractory oxides and plastics added to the range of material that can be flame sprayed successfully, the scope for this process has recently become much wider.

Abstract


The process of applying films of metals over surfaces by flame spraying had reached commercial significance around 1935. Most of the early applications were for protective coatings for steel but during the war much work was done for building up in reclaiming worn components. Since then the process has made steady progress and is now in regular use in various industries for those applications for which it has proved most suitable. With the high melting metals and alloys, the refractory oxides and plastics added to the range of material that can be flame sprayed successfully, the scope for this process has recently become much wider.
