A Metalizing Gun (also spelled Metallizing Gun) is industrial thermal spray equipment used to apply molten metal coatings for corrosion protection, surface rebuilding, wear resistance, and functional finishing. Depending on the application, it can spray materials such as zinc, aluminium, copper, bronze, and stainless steel to create protective or functional metallic surfaces. Airo Shot Blast Equipments manufactures and supplies Metalizing Guns in Jodhpur, India, with solutions covering Wire Flame Metalizing, Powder Flame Spray, and Electric Arc Spray technologies. Choose the suitable metalizing system for your application and contact us for the latest price, specifications, availability, and quotation.
What Is a Metalizing Gun?
A metalizing spray gun is a thermal spray gun that melts metal wire or powder and sprays it as fine molten droplets onto a surface. The droplets flatten and solidify into a dense metallic coating. It is used for protective, decorative, and functional purposes, including corrosion protection, build-up and repair of worn components, and electrical or thermal conductivity.
Metalizing is often done on steel after grit blasting. The blasted surface is grey and rough, which gives the molten metal something to grip.

How Does a Metalizing Gun Work?
- Grit blast: Clean the steel to a grey, rough, near-white finish with a sandblasting or grit blasting machine.
- Feed the metal: Wire or powder goes into the gun.
- Melt: A flame (oxy-fuel) or an electric arc melts the material.
- Atomise: Compressed air breaks the molten metal into fine droplets and drives them forward.
- Deposit: The droplets hit the surface and solidify into a coating.
- Seal (optional): A topcoat can extend life in harsh or marine environments.
Benefits of Metalizing
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc and aluminium coatings protect steel from rust, and zinc also gives sacrificial (anodic) protection.
- Longer life than paint alone: Metalized steel typically outlasts paint in outdoor and marine use.
- Strong adhesion to a properly blasted surface
- No cure time or oven needed: Parts can go back into use quickly.
- Works on large and small parts: Structures, tanks, pipes, shafts, and small components.
- Repair and rebuild: Worn components can be built back up.
- Insulation or conductivity: Depending on the coating, it can protect or conduct.
- Cost-effective: Lower equipment cost than many other thermal spray processes.
How to Choose the Right Metalizing Spray Gun
- Coating metal: zinc, aluminium, copper, bronze, steel, stainless steel, or alloy.
- Material form: wire, powder, or both.
- Job size: field repair, shop work, or production line.
- Gas and power: check whether oxygen and fuel gas or a DC power source is easier at your site.
- Surface preparation: plan a blasting machine and air compressor for a clean, rough surface.
- Booth and safety: consider a Zinc Spray Booth and safety wear for production work.

Metalizing guns are mainly used for corrosion protection; sandblasting or grit blasting is a must before metalizing. Grit Blasting before metalizing creates roughness so that melted zinc, aluminum, copper, and moly wire droplets pour and stick. Metallizing Gun can be classified as a wire flame spray gun and powder flame spray gun, rod flame spray gun. There are many types of wires for the metalizing spray gun; we suggest coating wire or powder as per client application.
