Abstract: A liquid-in-gas injector tube in which the diameter of the inner liquid-bearing tube within the gas-transmitting tube is reduced adjacent the outlet end of the injector. Clogging may be further reduced by adding vanes to the outer surface of the inner liquid-bearing tube within the gas-transmitting tube to impart swirling or otherwise focus the flow of gas at the exit of the injector tube.
Abstract: The present invention provides a system for producing coatings on a substrate from a liquid feedstock. The system comprises an axial injection thermal spray torch and a liquid feedstock delivery means for delivering a controlled flow of liquid feedstock to the torch. The torch is provided with a convergent/divergent nozzle.
