Dear all,
We sprayed bond coating of Metco 443 powder by Metco 6P Gun. The fine unmelted particles were observed in the coating Microctrustures. Is there any method to reduce its emergence?
Thanks,
Best regards,

Hello,
I hear a lot of speech about fusing process. We do it also in our company. But it is very intresting for my to know : what is difference if I perform fusing with acetylene and if I perform fusing with propane??? I understand that fusing with propane oxidize coating, but is it really make so big influence to wear resistance of the coating???

I have a problem with cracks appearing in WC-Co-Cr coatings applied by HVOF. What are the process parameters that should be adjusted to alleviate this problem?

I am a new subscriber to this forum . I want to verify the bond strength for cabon steel powder thermal sprayed (plasma spray process) on a low carbon steel substrate. Is there an international standard for such a test .

Any concerns/issues on above . It is an automotive component

I'm looking at buying a used metco flame spray model 10E or later.

I see that the 11E is a 'high speed' model. How is it different from a 10E or 12E and do I need a significantly larger compressor to operate it?

My compressor is 5hp 15cfm at 200psi, which I'm told is a bit small but will work for non-production jobs I do in my garage where I'm in no big hurry. Will this work for the 11E as well?

I am looking for an adequate bond test adhesive for performing adhesion tests on flame sprayed coatings. Could anyone recommend me such an adhesive ?
Thanks


Mr. Voyer,

I have a recommendation to use the following type of adhesive for testing the flame sprayed coating :
Materials : Adhesive film of FM 1000 type
Suggested Curing Cycle : 350 - 400oF (177 - 204oC) for 1 - 3 hours.
This is taken from the manual of repair process of aircraft engines.
