Problems and techniques connected with the spraying of molten metal on iron and steel to prevent corrosion are surveyed, including surface preparation, bonding coat, organic sealers and the relative merits of the various metals sprayed. Characteristics of zinc and aluminum coatings are discussed and recommendations are made for selection vs. environment anticipated. A list of recommendations for specific applications includes ship’s hulls, oil tanker interiors, fresh water tanks, marine atmospheric exposures, railroad bridges, steel piling, industrial atmospheres, exhaust stacks and mufflers and river lock gates.
