APPARATUS FOR GASODYNAMIC DEPOSITION OF POWDER MATERIALS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: portable apparatuses for applying coatings of powder materials by gasodynamic deposition.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes compressed gas source, powder meter, deposition unit in the form of portable manual tool with remote control having supersonic nozzle and gas heater rigidly connected with it. Gas heater includes metallic body inside which electric and heat insulation having through mutually parallel pneumatic ducts with inserted in them heating members. Apparatus also includes pneumatic duct for feeding powder from powder meter to supersonic nozzle, locking devices and unit for controlling deposition process, said units are mutually connected through flexible pneumatic ducts and electric connection wires. According to invention electric and heat insulation of gas heater includes inner and outer cylinders coaxially arranged one inside other. Inner cylinder has central through passage for placing pneumatic duct for feeding powder from meter to supersonic nozzle. Pneumatic ducts along its periphery are in the form of grooves. Inner and outer cylinders of electric heat insulation of gas heater are made of heat resistant material having electric and heat insulated coating on surfaces restricting pneumatic ducts.

EFFECT: enlarged manufacturing possibilities, simplified design, lowered mass, improved capability for repairing works, enhanced operational efficiency.
