Use of Hot Hydrocarbons in a Plasma Installation for Application of Wear-Resistant Coatings

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Results of comprehensive research on the use of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine (ICE) as the source of hot hydrocarbons instead of propane-butane or natural gas to reduce oxidative processes are presented. Introduction of hot hydrocarbons in exhaust gases from an ICE is shown to reduce significantly the redox potential of a plasma-torch plasma jet with respect to the sprayed material. An experimental mobile multifunctional plasma installation is developed and enables air-plasma spraying and melting of applied wear-resistant coatings. In this case, the exhaust gases from an ICE are used as the plasma-forming gas.
