  • Publication number: 20110268956
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for obtaining ceramic coatings and ceramic coatings obtained. This process allows obtaining coatings of ceramic oxides, such as ZrO2, Al2O3, TiO2, Cr2O3, Y2O3, SiO2, CaO, MgO, CeO2, Sc2O3, MnO, and/or complex mixtures thereof, by means of a high frequency pulse detonation technique in which the relative movement between the combustion stream and the substrate or piece to be coated takes place at a speed that produces an overlap between the successive coating areas exceeding 60% of the surface of a coating area. The allows producing ceramic coatings with a thickness greater than 30 microns in a single pass.

  • Patent number: 6745951
    Abstract: A detonation gun for thermal spraying formed by a combustion chamber (1) and a barrel (2), with entrances for fuel (5) and for oxidizer (4), one or more spark plugs (6) for detonating the fuel-oxidizer mixture and one or more injectors (7) for the introduction of the product into the barrel, the gun in the invention centers its characteristics on the incorporation of a direct injection system of the fuel and oxidizer gases into the explosion chamber, producing explosive mixtures of different compositions according to the various zones in the explosion chamber, with a constrained volume existing in this explosion chamber in which only fuel is injected in such a way that it can generate high-energy explosions, maintaining the cyclic operation of the gun.

  • Patent number: 6517010
    Abstract: The system for injecting gas for a detonation projection gun does not incorporate mechanical closing valves or systems for the supply of combustible gas or other inert additive compounds such as nitrogen, argol, helium or the like. On the contrary, the supply of gas or compounds occurs directly and separately to the detonation chamber (1) through a series of independent passages, one for the comburant and at least another passage for the combustibles, each passage being comprised of an expansion chamber (8) and of a plurality of distribution conduits (9) having a reduced cross-section and/or extended length.
