Abstract

The ongoing development of new HVOF spray guns for internal diameters is driving demand for finer spray powders. Fine spray powders (< 20 µm) are necessary to achieve short spray distances, but they also create new challenges. The first steps in the thermal spray process chain are powder preparation and feeding. If these steps are not stable, no sufficient coating quality can be obtained. This present work compares volumetric and fluidization powder feeding methods and investigates the feeding behavior of agglomerated and sintered WC-Co(Cr) powders with particle fractions of -5+15 µm, -20+5 µm, and -10+2 µm. Particle size fraction was measured ex situ by laser diffraction and particle outflow from the injectors was recorded in-situ by means of particle image velocimetry.

Abstract

This research looks at the work of Polycontrols in the field of additive manufacturing. Several technological breakthroughs are presented. We mainly draw upon tests performed with the ultrafine powder feeder at the National Research Council of Canada, and data gathered from different systems operating worldwide in aerospace facilities. This paper outlines the very unique capabilities of the feeder in the field of cold spray and finely-dispersed-particle air plasma spray (FAPS).

Abstract
PDF
Aluminum oxide ceramic coatings are widely used to extend the life of machine components. These protective layers are usually applied via atmospheric plasma spraying. In this study, alumina coatings are produced using a low-power plasma spraying method and assessed based on hardness, porosity, and microstructure. Test results show that alumina coatings applied using low-power plasma spraying with internal injection are harder than those produced using traditional APS techniques. The effect of process parameters, including current, voltage, powder feed rate, and plasma energy, is also investigated. Paper includes a German-language abstract.

Abstract
PDF
Arc instability in conventional plasmas causes variations in particle properties that can lead to poor coating quality and low deposit efficiencies. In this paper, the authors explain how the use of molecular gases with higher enthalpy mitigates the effects of arc instability, resulting in higher spray rates, better coating quality, and lower cost per kilogram of material deposited. They also describe the design and operation of a commercial high-enthalpy plasma spraying system and present and analyze coatings of different materials thereby produced. Paper includes a German-language abstract.

Abstract
PDF
Studies on atmospheric plasma spraying have generally focused on the influence primary parameters such as gas flows and plasma current. However, the APS process is also influenced by a large number of disturbance variables including electrode wear, cooling system irregularities, and disruptions in powder injection. This study investigates both the cause and effect of each of these factors in the context of aluminum oxide spraying. Numerous measurements are made showing how electrode wear, cooling fluctuations, flow measurement inaccuracy, and variations in powder feed rates affect in-flight particle characteristics, deposition efficiency, and layer thickness. Paper includes a German-language abstract.

Abstract

The demand for highly continuous thermal spray deposition processing to gain manufacturing efficiency and enhanced control of deposition microstructure has driven the search for powder feedstocks that exhibit uniform flow behavior in pneumatic feeding devices even at low carrier gas flow ratios. This paper compares the continuous powder feeding characteristics of one type of feeding device for two different powder alloys fabricated by a representative set of powder processing methods, including spray dried, fused (cast) and crushed, and inert gas atomized. Powders were fabricated by both commercial vendors and Ames Laboratory processing equipment. The powder mass flow rate was found to depend directly on the apparent density of a specific powder type instead of the dry powder flowability, as initially expected.
