Product Profile of Plasma ARC Spray Gun
Plasma ARC Spray Gun operates on electrically conductive gas containing charged particles that ignites high frequency arc between an anode [nozzle] and a cathode [electrode]. The Spray Gun uses a mixture of Argon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Helium as process gas. The Spray Gun is a flexible thermal spray gun as it can develop sufficient energy to melt any material. The Plasma ARC Spray Gun is limited to the number of coating materials that can be used.
Key Features of Plasma ARC Spray Gun
- Plasma is an electrically conductive gas containing charged particles.
- High frequency arc is ignited between an anode [nozzle] and a cathode [electrode].
- Process gases [generally mixtures of Argon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Helium] flowing between them is ionized to become a plume of hot plasma gas that exceed the temperature of 6,600 degree C to 16,600 degree C [12,000 degree F to 30,000 degree F].
- When the coating substrate to produce a strongly adherent coating.
- The work piece remains cool because the plasma is localized at the gun.
- Plasma Spray is perhaps the most flexible of all of the thermal spray processes as it can develop sufficient energy to melt any material.
- Number of coating materials that can be used in the plasma spray process is almost unlimited.
