International Classification:

B23K 10/00

US Classification:

21912147, 219 7616, 21912148, 118715

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method and apparatus of producing a dense coating with desirable stress conditions similar to coatings produced by a cold spray processes, but with higher process efficiencies and lower gas consumption. The inventive process combines features of a plasma process method of gas heating and a cold spray process to accelerate the gas, incorporating these elements into a single hybrid process.

International Classification:

B05D 1/12
B32B 15/04

US Classification:

428469000, 427180000, 427446000

Abstract:

The present invention provides a composite coating and a method of preparing a composite coating resistant to galling and fretting. The coating is applied to a substrate and includes a mixture of hard carbide particles in an alloy matrix or oxides and solid lubricant particles captured in a binder. The coating is produced by using a thermal spray process to apply a powder containing both the hard face or oxide phases as well as the self lubricating phases. Thus, the applied coating of the present invention combines the benefits achieved with previous thermal spray coatings in terms of wear, abrasion, heat and corrosion with those afforded by solid lubricants. In addition, the coating of the present invention provides consistently distributed surface porosity to retain liquid lubricant on the coating surface.

US Classification:

21912147, 21912148, 21912152

Abstract:

Plasma gun and method of applying powder to a substrate with a plasma gun. The plasma gun includes a cathode assembly (), an anode (), a rear neutrode (), and an extended neutrode () positioned adjacent the rear neutrode () to define a channel bore () between the cathode assembly () and the anode (). The extended neutrode () has a length greater than 38 mm. The plasma gun can also include at least one gas inlet to supply a gas to the channel bore () and a power supply.
