Continue readingSpray Tips: Wire and Rod Feeders for Thermal Spray
Materials that can be thermally sprayed include polymers, metals, metal alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, and composites. The feedstock material can take the form of wire, rod, powder, or, with emerging solution spraying, liquid and complex gases. This leads to two basic types of feed systems: one that feeds wires or rods, and another that feeds particulates.
