A Full Spectrum Of Metal Coating Services
With more than 120 years of cumulative coating experience, we are masters in our craft. Today, our thermal spraying capabilities go far beyond the basics. Here’s a glance at what we provide:
Recognisable brands and companies of all sizes trust Alphatek with their thermal spray coating projects. We consistently deliver great value and a rapid return on investment for all our thermal spraying clients. Whether the substrate material is metal, plastic, ceramic, composite, or carbon fibre, our adaptable, advanced coatings are an assured solution.
This cost-effective surface engineering solution is ideal for surface restoration and protection. Once applied to a prepared substrate, metal spraying works effectively at extending the operational lifespan of equipment and structures.
Known for its chemical resistance, non-stick properties, and high temperature tolerance, fluoropolymer coatings are an excellent choice for food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries.
Not only do all our coatings enhance the surface properties of any treated substrate, but we also ensure a flawless finish, so it looks the part. Our finishing services include polishing, grinding, and surface texturing. Designed for precision, tailored for your project’s demands.
What To Expect From Our Metal Coating Services
Proprietary Coatings
At Alphatek, we are not just coating distributors or applicators. We are also innovative developers. In fact, many of our thermal spray coatings are proprietary, developed through extensive research in our very own laboratory facilities.
Our fully tailorable coating products are technically sound and guaranteed to meet even the most complex performance criteria. Depending on the needs of our client, our process is very flexible and collaborative.
Our in-house R&D capabilities allow us to rapidly prototype, test, and refine coating formulas, ensuring maximum efficiency for any application.
Consultancy That Adds Value
Choosing the right coating for your application can be a challenge, especially when dealing with complex components or harsh operating environments. Our consultancy services are designed to simplify the decision-making process. We offer:
- Pre-application assessments on the component to establish environmental, thermal, and mechanical stresses
- Lifecycle analysis and cost-benefit analysis
- Failure analysis and improvement recommendations
Met Lab Testing Facilities
Accuracy and reliability are at the heart of our work. Our Metallurgical Laboratory (Met Lab) provides in-depth testing and analysis of coatings and substrates. From porosity and bond strength to microstructure evaluation, the Alphatek Met Lab helps us verify that our coatings meet stringent performance standards.
Research & Development (R&D)
Innovation is embedded in everything we do. Our R&D team continually explores new materials, application methods, and performance enhancements. This forward-thinking approach allows us to:
- Develop custom coatings for niche applications
- Improve the efficiency and durability of existing solutions
- Ensure compliance with evolving industry standards
When you work with Alphatek, you’re not just getting today’s best solutions—you’re accessing the future of coating technology.
CAD/CAM for Precision Application
For high-spec or complex projects, we utilise CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) to ensure absolute precision. Our engineers can model parts and simulate coating applications before production starts. This helps us keep manufacturing waste to a minimum, enhances precision engineering, and helps us speed up the production process.
Service You Can Rely On
Along with our technological capabilities, we pride ourselves on our attentive customer services. When a client reaches out with their coating requirements, our expert teams get together for an initial briefing to collectively decide how best we can fulfil their needs.
Our clients exist in high-pressure, demanding environments, where failure is not an option. We integrate this understanding with every product we develop. That’s why Alphatek’s coatings are consistently reliable, durable, and cost-effective.
Using Alphatek’s Metal Coating Services To Your Advantage
Now you know what to expect from our metal coating services, so why wait to get started on your project? If you’re experiencing mechanical failure regularly or your equipment is just not working for you, there’s probably something we can do about it.
If you’re looking for high-performance metal coatings that deliver long-term value, look no further. Here at Alphatek, we combine technical excellence, innovative thinking, and a customer-focused approach, so we may overcome even the toughest application challenges.
