Kinetic spray coating method and apparatus
Steenkiste Thomas H. Van,John R. Smith,Richard E. Teets,Jerome J. Moleski,Daniel W. Gorkiewicz +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for kinetic spray coating of substrate surfaces by impingement of air or gas entrained powders of small particles in a range up to at least 106 microns accelerated to supersonic velocity in a spray nozzle is disclosed.
Patent
Spray coatings for suspension damper rods
TL;DR: In this paper, the automotive suspension damper piston rods are replaced with thermal or kinetic spray coatings of: (a) suitable corrosion-resistant metal alloys such as iron and chromium containing nickel-based alloys or chromium-containing steels; (b) suitable ceramic coatings such as electrically insulative alumina ceramics.
Patent
Kinetic spray coating apparatus
Steenkiste Thomas H. Van,John R. Smith,Richard E. Teets,Jerome J. Moleski,Daniel W. Gorkiewicz +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus is described for kinetic spray coating of substrate surfaces by impingement of air or gas entrained powders of small particles in a range up to at least 106 microns accelerated to supersonic velocity in a spray nozzle.
Patent
Replaceable throat insert for a kinetic spray nozzle
TL;DR: In this article, a converging diverging supersonic nozzle for a kinetic spray system is disclosed, where a removable throat insert has an entrance cone and a throat and is received in the first end with the throat positioned adjacent the diverging region.
Patent
Method for direct application of flux to a brazing surface
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for direct application of a brazing flux material to a surface is described. The method includes the step of applying filler material to the substrate and utilizing a kinetic spray process to form a surface, which can be either a dry powder or a wet slurry.
