RE: HVOF Barrel Life Span
I try rotating the barrels, that way it wears evenly and I am able to make it last longer.
Other then that I cannot think of a way to make it last longer other them making them out of a harder material like W. Metco sent samples of W lined nozzles. | |||

RE: HVOF Barrel Life Span
I am assuming this is the same as a jp5000 gun ?
Do you carry out a spot test before coating parts/choosing parameters ? If your spray spot is oval or in worst case almost like a number 8 then you carrier gas is out of wack. The more round your spray spot is the better, they should last you longer than 3 hours even spraying Wc but as Kschewe mentioned it is good practice to rotate them slightly as they will last that little bit longer. I've attached an old presentation that might help a bit its a pdf but i think it gives you the idea All the best Kev | |||
