: How much can the spray be angled from the substate and maintain an acceptable coating ie. 90 degrees (normal to coated surface)down to 30 degrees What kind of adhesion can be expected (presently testing at 12,000 psi plus at 90 degrees)at the various angles down to 30 degrees. Substrate IN718.
_______________
This may be an over-amplified simplification but I am still putting forth for discussion purposes -
1. say if we are thinking about the adhesion as to be mesured by direct pull-off test, we can reasonabally assume that within a certain range, we can take it that the tesile stress needed to separate the coating from the base is directiontly proportional to the kinetic energy of the sprayed power term 1/2(mv)^2 at 90o angles. Thus, at an oblique angle of spraying, this term is substituted by 1/2(mv)2 sin^2(theta). In this very simple approach, a straight answer can be obtained. e.g. for a 30o angle spay, the direct pull-off strength would be 1/4 of that from a 90o-angle spray, or 3000 psi as opposed to the 12,000 psi you quoted.
2. How effective is this simple approach, I would be very interested in knowing any practical testing results.
3. Further, if we are thinking of the shear strength at the interface, the variation of angles would seem to have too much influence. The reasoning is that no matter whether the shear (coating-substrate relative sliding) is caused by the yielding of the substrate asperities or the yielding of the coating "inverted" asperities in contact along the grit-blasted bondline, as long as there is enough coating deposits in the geometrical valleys of the pre-blasted profile ( which won't seem to vary with spray angles), the total shear resistance of all the asperities in contact should be largely invariable - again, this is highly hypothetical.
Hope this will bring more discussion.
