Pulsed arc is "spray". Zincanneal is a brand name-need a material spec. or chemical make-up. That is what ASTM is for
(US Spec). You may need to contact the material manuf.,ask for the ASTM spec.

Be prepared to qualify a weld procedure to do this properly.

What are you welding it to?
What is the size of the part?
What temperature do you need the part to be used at?
Can you load the robot wih a TIG torch?
