  • Thermal coating method
    Patent number: 9803271
    Abstract: A thermal coating method for applying a functional layer to a workpiece surface, particularly for applying a running surface coating to a cylinder running surface of a crankcase of an internal-combustion engine, includes the steps of: melting a coating material by use of a melting device, applying coating material droplets to the workpiece surface by use of a gas jet aimed at the workpiece surface, which gas jet blows coating material droplets from a melting location of the melting device onto the workpiece surface, and cooling or rapidly freezing the coating material droplets during their transport from the melting location to the workpiece surface.
