Abstract
Abstract A flame spraying device including a rocket accelerator wherein a low velocity flame is produced into which a coating material is introduced. At least one rocket accelerator producing a high velocity stream of combustion product gases is positioned relative to the low velocity flame so that the coating material carried thereby is accelerated toward the substrate to be coated. By positioning the rocket relative to the low velocity flame, the dwell time in the low velocity flame can be optimized to produce the best coating of a substrate. The coating quality is also enhanced by the fact that the coating material does not oxidize or cool significantly while in the high velocity stream and by the fact that the coating material strikes the substrate at high speed thereby resulting in high density coating.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A flame spraying device comprising, in combination: a coating material delivery tube with an exit orifice out of which a coating material can be ejected; a plurality of combustible gas delivery tubes surrounding said coating material delivery tube each providing a passage for combustible gases, said combustible gas delivery tubes having exit orifices disposed proximate said material delivery tube exit orifice so that on combustion of the combustible gas, the coating material ejected from said coating material delivery tube enters a low velocity flame causing the coating material to be elevated in temperature; a first cooling chamber surrounding said combustible gas delivery tubes for circulating a coolant and reducing the temperature of said flame spraying device; a rocket chamber disposed around said first cooling chamber for burning a combustible gas therein and producing a high velocity stream of combustion product gases through an annular exit nozzle disposed proximate said exit orifice of said gas delivery tube so that said high velocity stream will accelerate the particles in said low velocity flame; and second cooling chamber surrounding said rocket chamber to reduce the temperature of said rocket chamber.
