Combustion Powder Spray

Combustion Powder Spray

 

Combustion powder spray is suitable for maintenance, repair, restoration of machine parts, as well as abradable coatings used for clearance control applications.

It is a relatively flexible process in that it can be used to apply metals, alloys, carbides, polymers and even some ceramic powders.

Key benefits of this process 
  • Equipment investment costs can be low
  • Greater flexibility of feedstock choices compared to Combustion Wire Spray
  • Coatings can be machined to final dimensions and finish
Typical applications 
  • Crank shafts
  • Sucker rod couplings
  • Gas turbine shrouds for clearance control
  • Dimensional restoration of worn or mismachined parts
Process description

The feedstock material, in powder form, is continually fed into a fuel gas-oxygen flame where it is then melted by the heat of combustion. For most combustion powder spray systems, the powder is fed via a feeder using a carrier gas to transport it to the spray gun. The mixed gasses accelerate the melted particles onto the prepared workpiece surface where it rapidly solidifies to form a coating.

Process basics
  • Heat source: combustion
  • Material: powder (metals, alloys, metallic blends or ceramics, )
  • Flame temperature: max. 3 100 °C (5 600 °F)
  • Particle velocity: up to 50 m/s (165 ft/s)
  • Approximate application rate: 35 to 150 g/min (4.5 to 20 lb/h)
