Careers Metalspray®
IGS Metalspray® is a robust solution that extends the life of existing equipment. IGS’s Metalspray® cladding upgrades existing metallurgy to higher alloys. Metalspray® acts as a corrosion/erosion barrier in mission-critical equipment, including boilers, process vessels, towers and columns.
IGS alloys meet or exceed the performance characteristics of their wrought alloy analogs. We modify high-grade alloys including Inconel® 622, Inconel® 625, Inconel® 825 and Hastelloy® C276, to provide optimal material characteristics for your specific equipment and environment.
Metalspray® cladding service is a preferred alternative to weld metal overlay (WMO) or organics since the IGS technology is more flexible and cost-effective.
What is Metalspray®?
Metalspray® is Integrated Global Services’ (IGS’) proprietary technology to deposit high nobility metal alloys onto the substrate to achieve a corrosion-resistant barrier that offers greater protection than most other technologies, including weld overlay, while negating the need for heat treatment and avoiding heat-affected zones (HAZ).
Metalspray® vs Weld Overlay
The Metalspray® application is significantly faster than weld metal overlay. Metalspray® coating services solution provides excellent up-front cost reduction and long-term ROI due to material and labor savings. Savings as high as 50% are frequently achieved.
Furthermore, Metalspray® doesn’t create a Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and therefore will require no post weld heat treating (PWHT) saving more time and putting your equipment under less stress.
Metalspray® vs Organic Coatings
IGS Metalspray® has one major advantage against organic coatings. It does not require any curing time or bake out. This cladding is also insensitive to atmospheric temperature and humidity.
As a result, the Metalspray® application can reduce critical path turnaround time by up to ten days, bringing your unit back into operation that much sooner.
Metalspray® does not have the low service temperature limitations that organic coatings do. Metal coatings can withstand much harsher environments and are resistant to impact damage that may commonly occur during a turnaround.
IGS Expertise in On-Site Corrosion Prevention
IGS is the industry leader in on-site corrosion protection for mission critical equipment. We safely operate on site during turnarounds in partnership with our customers and their other vendors.
