| Abstract: |
The trend in thermal spraying is more and more towards a globally uniform level of high-grade spray coatings. It is therefore extremely important that auxiliaries such as spray materials or industrial gases undergo precise examination in order to exactly define their influence.
This is not only made possible by selecting the right system, but also by choosing the right gas and gas mixture. In order to expand the field of application for thermal spraying, we have tried to determine and assess the right gas mixture for arc spraying. This thermal spray process in particular proves to be very cost-effective due to the use of wire as the spray material and is therefore an effective alternative to other processes.
The optimization of costs, extended lifetime of systems and tailoring of coating properties to suit specific applications are just some of these influencing variables.
