Deflector molten glass

[plasmajet1990]

Hello,

Does anyone know what deposition is needed for a gutter through which molten glass is flowing?
The gutter is from a wine bottle factory.

The purpose is to reduce the friction.

Thanks!

Hi Plasma,
there are few practices in this area:
1) The chutes are greased and water is let to flow to cool
2) Carbon coating- carbon powder with maybe with proper binding
system, applied/brushed
3) Consider Boron Nitride coating- same as above but with excellant lubricity and heat condution
4) Custom designed plates fixed onto the chute.
5) Frictional Properties of M3B2 Boride Cermet Coating-Proceedings of the 2006 International Thermal Spray Conference-K. Hamashima, N. Tomita
I'd recommend Saint Gobain as your further source of information.

I had some experience in this area, you can application TT coating for this application!
