Aluminum Thermal Spray Wire 1.6 mm

Corrosion Protection with Aluminum Thermal Spray Wire

Applying aluminum coatings via thermal spray is a proven industrial method for extending the service life of steel components. The 1.6 mm aluminum wire acts as a sacrificial anode, corroding preferentially to protect the steel substrate from rust and chemical attack. This makes it suitable for infrastructure, marine environments, and industrial processing equipment where long-term durability is critical.

Unlike paint systems, thermally sprayed aluminum (TSA) coatings provide barrier protection combined with galvanic action. They do not degrade under UV exposure and can withstand higher service temperatures, making them a preferred specification for engineers in demanding sectors.

Arc and Flame Spray Process Compatibility

This 1.6 mm diameter wire is compatible with standard arc spray and combustion flame spray systems. In the arc spray process, two electrically charged wires are fed to a gun head where an arc melts the tips; compressed air atomizes the molten metal and propels it onto the prepared substrate. The result is a high-bond-strength coating with low porosity.

For flame spray, the wire is fed through a gas-fueled flame that melts the material before atomization. While deposition rates are typically lower than arc spray, flame spray equipment offers portability for on-site repairs and smaller-scale work. SPA2Z can help confirm the best process fit for your specific application and equipment upon enquiry.

Pack Options and Handling

We supply Aluminum Thermal Spray Wire 1.6 mm on precision-wound spools to ensure consistent, snag-free feeding during spraying. Standard pack sizes include 15 kg, 20 kg, and 25 kg spools. Coil packs are also available for operations that prefer bulk payoff systems. Proper storage in a dry environment is recommended to maintain wire surface quality and prevent oxidation before use.
