Molten Metal Sprayed on Ships to Resist Rust
Capt Kred Earle former commander of the Long Beach Naval Shipyard writes in Tron Age about a new antifouling process that sprays molten zinc or aluminum onto steel surfaces. The method, using a gun and molten feed, forms protective particles that resist corrosion and may be cheaper than paint. Ships including tuna clippers Panama Canal gates and wind tunnels at Moffett Field have received this treatment. The technique could extend life for iron and steel structures and is applied before launching.
