Abstract
The one-dimensional calculation of the gas/particle flows of a supersonic two-stage high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process was performed. The internal gas flow was solved by numerically integrating the equations of the quasi-one-dimensional flow including the effects of pipe friction and heat transfer. As for the supersonic jet flow, semi-empirical equations were used to obtain the gas velocity and temperature along the center line. The velocity and temperature of the particle were obtained by an one-way coupling method. The material of the spray particle selected in this study is ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The temperature distributions in the spherical UHMWPE particles of 50 and 150µm accelerated and heated by the supersonic gas flow was clarified.
