Thermal spray coatings (TSC) have been successfully used in all major sectors of the marine and industrial corrosion control coatings market.
Thermal spray coatings (TSC) have been successfully used in all major sectors of the marine and industrial corrosion control coatings market. Approximately twenty years ago they were introduced to the bridge coatings sector of the market on a trial basis. The overall positive results of these TSC tests in the bridge market have generated a wealth of information and much is known today about their origin and benefits. TSC have proven to be the longest lasting coating systems available. They are the most cost effective from a life cycle cost (LCC) analysis and their initial application cost is continuing to drop (1). This paper will discuss the present status of TSC as an approved alternative coating system and what needs to be done in order to effectively promote their use as a viable mainstream coating system to benefit the future bridge coatings market.

Since 1982, there has been a move to Thermal Sprayed Aluminum (TSA) coating in the “splash zone” of offshore structures. Our experience indicates that an experience applicator, good surface preparation and quality of wire combined to achieve required thickness and apply the sealer to seal the entire surface.
As corrosion control thermal spray jobs are more frequently specified, more painting contractors are adding thermal spray application to their businesses. Facility owners as well as contractors need to define what issues are critical for training the corrosion control thermal spray operators.
