Arc spray uses two oppositely charged metal wires coming in contact with each other to melt the coating material.
Due to the electric arc being able to reach temperatures as high as 4000C, arc coatings can be applied very quickly and economically.
Arc spray can only be used with metal coating solutions, since an electrical current is required to melt material, but the high temperature reached can result in a more durable metal coating.
Arc spray can be applied efficiently, without sacrificing a good bond strength and hardness. This method can also use two different wire materials to create specialized alloys during the spraying process for the most ideal surface enhancement solution. Arc spray coatings can greatly enhance the electrical properties of components.
