: Is it possible to metal spray full sections of structural members so as to return them to their original strength? E.G. Spray against a former to replace the bottom flange of a beam which has small areas completely corroded away.

Hi David

It is important to understand that a thermal spray coating can be used to restore original dimension, but NOT the original strength. This is a case where I would strongly advise against using a thermal spray coating.
