Anti-corrosion protection and repair without dismantling
The operating principle of electric arc spraying (EAS) resembles the operation of a high-tech “gun”: two metal wires (electrodes) are continuously fed into the contact zone, where an electric arc is ignited between them. The arc’s temperature instantly melts the metal, and a powerful jet of compressed air picks up the smallest particles of the melt and applies them at high speed to the prepared surface of the part or structure.
This is a cold process relative to the substrate: the base metal does not overheat or deform, and the coating is formed due to mechanical and physical-chemical adhesion.

EAS technology
The versatility of EAS allows solving a wide range of problems using various materials:
Anti-corrosion protection: Creating durable coatings from zinc, aluminum, stainless steel, and their combinations. These layers act as a “sacrificial anode,” protecting the steel even when chipped.
Geometry restoration: “Build-up” of metal on worn areas of shafts, axles or seats.
Decorative finish: Finishing with brass, copper or bronze to give products an aesthetic appearance without galvanic baths.
Our equipment is compact and mobile. We can apply coatings to bridges, tanks, or pipelines directly on-site. No dismantling or downtime required.
Economic efficiency
The process requires no oxygen, acetylene, or expensive gases—only electricity and air. The high spray rate makes it cost-effective to protect large areas (hundreds of square meters)
Отрасли применения
Infrastructure and construction
Bridge structures, transmission line supports, housing and communal services elements (water tanks, gas holders), corrosion protection of road barriers and building metal structures.
Shipbuilding and hydraulic engineering
Ship hulls, hydroturbines, locks, dam gates, and dock components. Aluminum coatings are essential for protection against seawater.
Petroleum and gas engineering and energy
External and internal protection of large diameter pipes. Anti-corrosion treatment of storage tanks for oil and petroleum products. Protection of metal structures of drilling rigs and wind turbine supports.
Chemical industry
Creating the barrier layers on tanks and reactors operating in mildly aggressive environments
Advantages of EAS
Protective properties
Unlike paint, a metallized coating (especially zinc) protects the steel electrochemically. Even if a scratch appears, rust will not grow underneath.
Innovative alloys
The ability to load two different wires into the device (for example, zinc + aluminum) allows to create the coatings with unique properties (pseudoalloys) that cannot be obtained by other methods.
Usability and safety
The equipment is low-maintenance, and the process itself is fire-safe (no flammable gases are involved). Both manual and fully automated operation are available.
