Spray Coating Materials Chart
| Type Coating | General Qualities | Suggested Applications |
| Aluminum | Highly resistant to heat, hot water and corrosive gases. Excellent heat distribution and reflection. | Hot water storage tanks; vegetable oil tanks; exhaust manifolds, railway tank cars; airplane cylinder fins; sun deflection on glass; boat hulls and marine applications; capacitor cases; non-metallic surfaces; electrical circuit boards; motor bell housing; heat exchanger tubes; irrigation equipment, pattern build up; piston heads and valve seats; refinery equipment shielding and grounding on plastic radio parts; refrigerator coils and components; smoke stacks; sheet metal repair; industrial handling equipment; covering tubing welds; external diesel cylinder liners, heat distribution on cookware; towers; paint base. |
| Babbit | Excellent bearing wearability. | Large bearings (can be sprayed without molds), refrigeration pistons. |
| Brass | Machines well, takes a good finish. | Reclaiming defective or work brass casting; decorative ware and artwork; brass repair work. |
| Bronze | Excellent wear resistance; exceptional machineability; denase coatings (especially Al, Bronze). | Water wheel runners; pump casting; and impellers; bushings; valve plugs; molds motor block bearings; shafts; decorative coatings. |
| Copper | High heat and electrical conductivity. | Carbon brushes (for better electrical contact); electrical circuits, shielding plastic radio parts; solder connections; sprayed on glass for solder seals. |
| Iron | Excellent machining qualities. | Repairing castings. |
| Lead | Good corrosion protection fast deposits and dense coatings. | X-ray shields and x-ray tube housings; protecting fan blades acid fimes balancing. |
|
Molybdenum |
Self-bonding for steel surface preparation. | Piston rings, crankshafts, pressfit applications; mixing machine blades; mandrels; ring hubs; packing glad areas; plug gauges; rear axle seals; spindles; transmission shafting and seals; aluminum castings; hard surfacing aluminum and other materials. |
| Monel | Excellent machining qualities; highly resisttant to corrosion. | Repairing castings. |
| Nickel | Good machine finishing; excellent corrosion protection. | Machine elements subject to corrosion but not requiring high wearability. (Excellent for repairing defective castings hen used with Mogul Dot-Weld Equipment). |
| Nickel-Chrome | High temperature applications. | Undercoating for ceramic deposits improves bond. Spraying heating elements. |
| Steel | Hard finishes, good machineability. | Clutch plates; shaft build-up bell housing or bearing press fits; plug type valves; sprayed on aluminum parts for better wearing qualities (available in various hardnesses). |
| Chrome Steel (Tufton) | Bright, hard finish, highly resistant to wear. | For hard wearing surfaces; packing glands, pump rods; crankshafts. |
| Stainless | Excellent corrosion protection and superior wearability. | Clutch plates, shafting build-up; crankshafts; electrical motors and generator bell housings and shafts; inking roll buildup; centrifugal and rotary pumps; roller bearings; pump couplings keyways; impellers; ring hubs; gear box parts and all surfaces; packing glands; rear axle seals; transmission bearing housing; plug type valves; Teflon undercoating. (Available in various grades.) |
| Tin | High purity for food applications | Protection of dairy and food product equipment. |
| Zinc | Superior corrosion resistance and bonding qualities. | Storage tanks; bridges, towers, laundry extractor baskets; conveyor equipment, mine cars, refrigeration equipment, building up pistons skirts; boat hulls and marine applications; capacitor cases; electrical circuits; motor bell hosing; irrigation equipment; covering tubing welds; oil well derricks; pattern buildups; pipe seal rings; covering plaster and wood refinery equipment; wind tunnels; conduit fittings; packing house, repair of welded, galvanized atmospheric corrosion resistance. |
