The Department of Thermal Spraying and Welding is concerned with problems related to surface protection and welding.

Development of a Package of Technologies for Thermal Spraying of Functional Coatings to Manufacture Radio and Electric Engineering Products.

Thermal Spraying This involves heating metal, ceramic or mixtures of metal and ceramic powders to a semi-molten state and depositing them at high velocities on to components.

The surfaces are often applied using coating techniques such as Chrome (Nickel) Plating, Lunac 2+ duplex, Laser Cladding, PTA welding and Thermal Spraying.

Thermal Spraying and Surface Engineering Association (TSSEA) aims to promote the use and development of thermal spraying and other surfacing technologies wherever they may be appropriate.

Metal Spraying offers many advantages over the conventional galvanising dipping process Low heat input, no distortion on small sections Low heat input, no thermal metallurgical degradation.

Unfortunately the new owners joined the industry at the wrong time, as the post-war depression hit the area quite badly, and in 1925 the yard closed itself to shipbuilding, and was reopened by Harry Payne as the factory for Bristol Metal Spraying and Welding Company.
