  • Precision air flow routing devices and method for thermal spray coating
    Patent number: 11879173
    Abstract: A method of controlling deposition of material from at least one plasma transferred wire arc (PTWA) torch within at least one bore includes: directing a fluid through a duct; and directing the fluid through a number of cannons N disposed adjacent and downstream from the duct. The fluid is directed through the duct and N cannons and past the PTWA torch while the PTWA torch is spraying downstream from N?1 cannons.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 23, 2024
    Assignee: Ford Motor Company

  • Precision air flow routing devices and method for thermal spray coating applications
    Patent number: 10435779
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling deposition of material from a plasma transferred wire arc (PTWA) torch within a bore is provided. The apparatus includes a duct and a plurality of cannons. The duct includes a plurality of fluid passageways separated by cross-members. The plurality of cannons are disposed adjacent and downstream from the plurality of fluid passageways of the duct. The flow of fluid is simultaneously directed through all of the fluid passageways and the plurality of cannons and past the PTWA torch in the bore.
