The present invention provides automated, computer-controlled apparatus and methods for coating an object comprising iron with aluminum or an alloy comprising aluminum or another alloy or metal suitable for application by use of heating with an induction coil or air or both. A computer system monitors and controls one or more heating systems to heat aluminum to a desired temperature and determine when an article is to be coated or sprayed with liquid aluminum from one or more atomizing spray nozzles connected directly or indirectly to a container having liquid aluminum therein. Other computerized control methods and sensors can be implemented in order to effectively heat the air or gas which is to be used to either melt or assist in the propelling of the aluminum or alloy which is to be used for coating. |
