  • Patent number: 7341763
    Abstract: A thermal spraying device with a first blowing mechanism for lengthening a droplet formed near the tips of thermal spraying materials by arc, and a second blowing mechanism for a blowing a tip portion of the lengthened droplet to atomize it into droplets and to scatter atomized droplets towards a face to be thermally sprayed. The first blowing mechanism lengthens the droplet so that the second blowing mechanism propels air to the tip portion of the lengthened droplet that is separated from a location where the tips of thermal spraying materials are adjacent and the arc is generated. Arcing between the tips of the thermal spraying materials continues stably, and satisfactory thermal spraying is possible.

  • Patent number: 7210638
    Abstract: An electric arc spraying system includes a spraying gun for thermally spraying an inner surface of an object such as a cylinder block by blasting compressed gas substantially perpendicularly to the supplying direction of target wires. The spraying gun is rotated by a spraying gun rotation mechanism. The target wires are loaded in and supplied from wire supplying sources. A wire feeder rotation mechanism is provided for rotating the wire supplying sources synchronously with the spraying gun in rotation. Wire feeders are provided at the spraying gun or adjacent to the wire supplying sources for feeding the target wires. Wire support cables are configured to guide the target wires from the wire supplying sources to the spraying gun.
