I’m interested in metal spraying

Question:

Awhile back you were asked if you ever evaluated the spray weld process for repairing rusted metal. Well, I have seen the spray metal gun.

Here is some information that is stamped on the gun: Metallizing Engineering Co. Inc., Westbury, N.Y. It also says Type 4E Metallizing Gun, Metco Industrial Equipment.

I have faxed Metco for information about the gun several times, but I haven’t gotten a response. I would appreciate it if you could track them down as I would like to purchase one.

Answer:

I believe that Metco was acquired by or merged with another company called Sulzer and the resulting entity is called Sulzer Metco. They have locations throughout the world but you need to contact one of the hundreds of retail entities that carry their products.

You can consult the Sulzer Metco Web site (sulzermetco.com) to determine what businesses near you carry their products. In the alternative, take a look at thermal-spraydepot.com, an online store that carries a variety of different metal spraying and related products and supplies. And, lastly, interested parties can contact Ron Stevens with California Metal Spray in Santa Rosa, California (californiametalspray.com). This is a business that offers metal spraying services.
