Abstract

Zinc was well established as a protective coating for steel before metal spraying was introduced on a commercial scale, and it was natural that sprayed zinc should be to the fore amongst sprayed metal coatings, a position which it has never lost. During the last 15 years, wide fields of usefulness have been developed for zinc‐sprayed coatings which are often peculiar to them. Today it is rare for a decision to have to be made as to whether or not spraying or galvanizing should be used, the controlling factors in most cases being obvious. The use of zinc‐sprayed coatings on large structures, usually on site, is well known, but there has been comparatively little published information on its many other applications.
