Thermal Spray
Aluminum (TSA)
Coating
TSA coating has become an efficient/durable solution for long-term corrosion control and
protection of steel structures. Canadoil has successfully launched a new dedicated state-of-the-
art TSA coating facility capable of using the Twin Wire Arc System; where two consumable
wires are arced together and entrained in an air jet from the gun to the surface of all piping
products (i.e. pipes/fittings). This method deposits a consistently atomized coating, resulting in
high bond strength, and the highest rate of application of all thermal spraying methods.
Twin Wire Arc originated in the high-tech Aerospace & Power Generation industry. In the piping
industry, this system is a new concept application of well-established coating technique. TSA
coating offers a superior alternative to the conventional coatings for corrosion protection of
steel structures.

TWIN WIRE ARC METHOD (ARC SPRAY)

Twin Wire Arc systems functions by
pulling or pushing two electrically
charged wires into a gun head assembly
where they are arced together. Located
immediately behind this hot plasma
zone is a compressed air jet which
blows across the arc area, atomizing and
propelling the molten metal particles
forward to coat the substrate.
