Why Aluminium Wires are used as feedstock for thermal guns?
It is used as feedstock in thermal spray guns because aluminum wires coating is suggested for cathode corrosion protection in atmospheric and freshwater immersion and it is with application areas such as oil refining equipment, chemical processing equipment, and boat bottom interior Exposure to bilge water and types of exposure is similar to others. The thermal sprayed aluminum coating can be applied almost thick and replace plating or paints, or used as an undercoat for the organic coatings and paints. Properly applied, these coatings can use for the last 15 to 50 years without maintenance. For wire in the metalizing spray gun industry, the typical final package involves the wire perfectly spooled onto a plastic spool that will later be loaded into the
vacuum chamber. This process takes the wire from the large spools and re-spools the wire onto the final plastic spools in a closely controlled process. This process involves closely controlling the incoming wire tension, traverse, pitch as well as wire cast as the spool is wound. The spooling and wire cleanliness are both potential sources of problems in the metalizing process. There are several factors involving wire cleanliness as well as spooling that must be considered.
