System and method for stainless steel cladding of carbon steel pieces

A product, comprising:

• a carbon steel piece;
• and
• an atomized stainless steel spray coating that clads the carbon steel piece;
• wherein the thickness of the atomized stainless steel spray coating is equal to or greater than 0.007 inches;
• wherein the carbon steel piece is a carbon steel rebar piece or dowel bar;
• wherein the carbon steel rebar piece or dowel bar comprises:
• opposing first and second end portions, and
• a middle portion extending longitudinally between the opposing first and second end portions;
• wherein the opposing first and second end portions define opposing first and second end faces, respectively;
• wherein the opposing first and second end faces are spaced in a generally parallel relation;
• wherein the atomized stainless steel spray coating, which clads the carbon steel rebar piece or dowel bar, defines an external surface of the product;
• wherein the external surface of the product, which is defined by the atomized stainless steel spray coating, has a surface finish;
• and
• wherein the surface finish of the external surface of the product is:
• a grit-blast surface finish,
