摘要:
A method and apparatus for automatically grit blasting and metal spraying a wall of a cylindrical vessel utilizing a pair of rails with arms slidably disposed thereon, which rotate 180.degree. in unison about the axis of the vessel and then reverse and are moved incrementally along the rails upon completion of each 180.degree. of rotation until the wall of the vessel is grit blasted by a grit blasting nozzle on each arm and then sprayed with multiple thin layers of molten metal by a molten metal sprayer on each arm. The grit blasting nozzle and molten metal sprayer may be interchangeably mounted on the arms or may be both installed and operated separately.
