An Arc Spray Gun is an industrial thermal spray system that uses an electric arc to melt two metal wires and compressed air to atomize and deposit the molten metal onto a prepared surface. It is widely selected for fast zinc, aluminium, and zinc-aluminium coatings, particularly for corrosion protection and functional surface treatment of large steel components. Airo Shot Blast Equipments manufactures and supplies Arc Spray Guns in Jodhpur, India, with solutions for industrial metalizing, corrosion protection, wear-resistant coatings, and surface rebuilding. The system operates without process oxygen or fuel gas, using electricity and atomizing air for the spray process.

What Is an Arc Spray Gun?
An arc spray gun is a thermal spray gun that feeds two electrically charged wires toward each other. When the wire tips meet, an electric arc forms and melts them. A jet of compressed air strips off the molten metal and sprays it onto the workpiece, where it cools into a dense, firmly bonded coating.
It uses only electricity and atomising air, so no oxygen or fuel gas is needed. The coating wire must be electrically conductive, which suits zinc, aluminium, zinc-aluminium, copper, bronze and many steels.
How Does an Arc Spray Gun Work?
- Blast the surface: Clean the steel to a grey, rough, near-white finish with a sandblasting or shot blasting machine.
- Load the wires: Two wires are fed from the wire pool stand into the gun by the motorised feed.
- Strike the arc: DC power creates an electric arc where the two wire tips meet, and the wires melt.
- Atomise: Compressed air at 50-70 psi breaks the molten metal into fine droplets.
- Deposit: The droplets hit the surface and solidify into a coating.
- Seal (optional): A topcoat of epoxy or similar paint extends coating life in harsh environments.
Key Benefits of Our Arc Spray Gun
- Fast coating rate: A good choice for large areas, tanks, bridges, and structures.
- Strong adhesion: The coating bonds firmly to a blasted surface.
- No fuel gas needed: Just power and compressed air, with no oxygen or acetylene cylinders.
- Cooler for the part: The part itself does not get very hot, so the risk of distortion is low.
- Instant use: No drying or curing time before the part goes back into service.
- Manual, semi-automatic or automatic use: The gun mounts on a stand, manipulator or machine.
- Low running cost: Zinc and aluminium wire are inexpensive, and the gun is simple to maintain.
- Repeatable coatings: Air caps are available for different spray patterns, from a high-velocity pattern to a wide fan pattern.

Short answer: Choose an arc spray gun for large structures where speed and bond matter most. Choose a flame spray gun for portable field work, powder or non-conductive materials, or a lower starting budget. For hard alloys, see the Powder Flame Spray Gun.
How to Choose the Right Arc Spray Gun
- Coating metal: zinc, aluminium, zinc-aluminium, or another conductive wire.
- Wire size: confirm your wire is within 1.6-2.5 mm.
- Job size: large structures and production work suit arc spray best.
- Power and air supply: check that you have a suitable DC power source and an air compressor that can supply 9-10 cfm at 50-70 psi.
- Surface prep: pair the gun with a blasting machine for a clean, rough surface.
- Spray area: consider a Zinc Spray Booth for controlled production work.
