| Abstract: |
Asymmetric melting behaviour of the electrodes is a process related feature of the twin wire arc spraying (TWAS) technique since the heating of the negative connected wire is different from that of the positive connected wire. Due to these differences in melting behaviour a tracking of particle velocity and temperature for both electrodes individually is very important.
Particle velocity and temperature have been recorded from anode and cathode by positioning the tracking device on each side of the spraying gun. To draw the whole picture of the spraying jet particles have been tracked also from the top side of the spray gun. The goal of this study is to have an experimental data set up for model building and simulation of depositing process in TWAS. Corresponding measuring devices have been employed to investigate the TWAS process by spraying of massive and cored wires.
