In today’s blog, we’re offering a deeper insight into how metal coating services enhance durability and aesthetics.
At the moment, the demand in the manufacturing sector is mixed. There are some indications that things are getting better, post-COVID recovery, but there are still challenges the sector must face, which may be slowing growth.
To capitalise on industrial growth, we must rely on advanced, reliable materials, without upping our costs or taking up more resources. Finding a solution for long-lasting, high-performance metal components is more important than ever.
That’s where Alphatek steps in.
We are leading specialists in thermal spray coating technology. Our solutions are used to enhance the manufacturing of automotives, aerospace, paper & print, glass, and more. With a suite of metal coating products, as well as comprehensive manufacturing services, we are on hand to support industries through even the toughest operational challenges.
Why Metal Coating Services Matter
Metal coatings are used to enhance equipment or machine components, so they perform as required by manufacturers. In this process, a thin layer of an advanced solution is sprayed onto a substrate. Once dried, the newly bonded surface improves the properties of the sprayed component.
Protection is vital when it comes to long-lasting materials. Across many industry applications, metal parts must resist wear, corrosion, friction, extreme heat and chemical damage, or improve electrical/thermal conductivity.
Not only do metal coating services provide functional benefits, but they can also be used to improve the visible appearance of metal components, which can be essential for infrastructure or automotive applications.
At Alphatek, we work with globally recognisable brands. Part of our job as metal coating consultants is to recognise that no two applications are ever the same. That’s why we combine our decades of experience and expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver tailored coating solutions.
