    摘要: A plasma transferred wire arc thermal spray apparatus and method producing an extended-arc and supersonic plasma jet stream for applying a dense metallic coating on a substrate, such as a concave internal surface of a bore. The apparatus includes a plasma generating torch assembling having a cathode and an anode nozzle surrounding the cathode and a wire feeder which continuously feeds the tip of a wire feedstock opposite a constricted nozzle orifice and wherein the wire feedstock is maintained at the same positive electrical potential as the nozzle. Plasma gas is directed into the nozzle, preferably generating a vortex flow around the cathode and exiting the restricted nozzle orifice. The improved apparatus includes a pilot power supply and a high voltage or high frequency power supply which initiates the electric arc and the constricted plasma arc and a separate main power supply which extends the constricted plasma arc to the wire tip. In the disclosed bore coating apparatus and method, the plasma torch assembly is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the wire feedstock while maintaining the electrical connection between the wire feedstock and the nozzle. The apparatus further includes an annular conical port surrounding the restricted nozzle orifice connected to a second gas source which generates an annular conical gas stream surrounding the wire tip having a point of intersection spaced downstream of the wire tip and the second gas is further directed to the wire feed guide to cool the assembly.

    摘要: A method of thermal spray coating a surface with a metal coating material includes the provision of a nozzle about a thermal spray coating apparatus, such as a two wire electric-arc apparatus. The nozzle includes a plurality of ports facing generally radially inwardly towards a coating material particle stream, such as an atomized molten metal stream of a two-wire arc thermal spray apparatus. The ports sequentially receive a deflecting gas flow, such that the direction moves circumferentially about the axis of the particle stream. The deflecting gas entrains the coating material and carries it radially to the surface of the part to be coated or the nozzle assembly. By utilizing a plurality of valve ports, one simplifies the assembly over prior art systems which have rotated the part to be coated. In one embodiment of this invention, a valve disk selectively communicates a compressed gas to the ports sequentially. In a second embodiment, each of the ports are associated with individual electrically operated valves which are sequentially opened to achieve the changing direction of the deflecting gas flow. A method and apparatus for simultaneously coating a plurality of bores main body, such as an engine block, is also disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of deflecting nozzles which are simultaneously inserted in each of the bore. The preferred method includes initiating an axial particulate coating stream, prior to inserting the deflecting nozzles in the bores, then inserting the nozzles in the bores and deflecting stream radially, to coat all of the bores simultaneously.

    摘要: A supersonic flame spray apparatus capable of forming a high-energy stream of a particulate feedstock for flame spray applications. The flame spray apparatus includes a converging throat in which a two-stage exothermic reaction is created and maintained comprising a flame front and a steady-state continuous detonation. As fuel gas is injected into the flame front, a steady-state continuous detonation reaction is achieved in a fuel-rich zone. A partriculate feedstock is fed into the converging throat at a low-pressure region of the continuous detonation and then passes through the flame front heating the particles. The heated particles are entrained in the expanding combustion gases which flow in an axial high-velocity collimated particle spray stream through a tubular barrel. In one aspect, the flame spray apparatus includes a two-wire arc assembly positioned spatially along the axial center line of the particle stream exiting the barrel. The wires are melted by an electric arc in an arc zone and the molten metal is atomized by the collimated particle stream emerging from the barrel outlet to form a composite particle stream which contains two dissimilar feedstocks. Spray-formed materials are also provided including substantially fully dense metal-matrix composites which may be formed as coatings or as freestanding near-net shapes.
