Plasma Spray


Plasma Spraying
Plasma is the term used to describe gas which has been raised to such a high temperature that it ionises and becomes electrically conductive. In the case of Plasma spraying, the plasma is created by an electric arc burning within the nozzle of a plasma gun and the arc gas is formed into a plasma jet as it emerges from the nozzle. Powder particles are injected into this jet where they melt and then strike the surface at high velocity to produce a strongly adherent coating. Almost any material can be sprayed including metals, ceramics, and plastics. The workpiece remains cool because the plasma is localised at the gun.

PS50M-PC Plasma Spraying System

The Metallisation PS50M-PC is the latest development to our 50kW Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) system.

All of the great features of the PS50M have been retained: the system is still mass flow controlled for repeatable coating quality and the operator interface is still very simple.

The latest developments are to the powder feeder and operator interface. The powder feeder has mass flow controlled carrier gas and closed loop motor control for reliability and repeatability of powder feed rates. The operator interface is still simple to follow but is now via touch screen rather than pushbuttons.

The result is a high quality, compact, and easy to use Plasma system.

Applications:

  • Print rolls (Analox rolls)
