A compressed gas atomizes and propels the molten material to the workpiece.<\/p>\n<p>The two consumable electrode wires are fed by a wire feeder to bring them together at an angle of approximately 30 degrees and to maintain an arc between them. A compressed air jet is located behind and directly in line with the intersecting wires. The wires melt in the arc and the jet of air atomizes the melted metal and propels the fine molten particles to the workpiece. The power source for producing the arc is a direct-current constant-voltage welding machine.<\/p>\n<p>The wire feeder is similar to that used for gas metal arc welding except that it feeds two wires. The gun can be hand held or mounted in a holding and movement mechanism. The part or the gun is moved with respect to the other to provide a coating surface on the part.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does Electric Arc Spraying work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;1185&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Coating Characteristics&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;coating-characteristics&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The layers of electric-arc process are characterized by an <b>outstanding adhesion<\/b>, yet not reached in the flame spraying.
