Abstract

Abstract. In the global practice of application, more than 50% are metal coatings applied by the method of electric arc metallization, which has the following advantages: high productivity, simplicity of equipment, low power consumption, the ability to 6obtaining coatings with high-performance properties through the use of scarce and inexpensive wires of industrial production.
 But the main drawback is the process of oxidation of alloying elements during transportation of molten electrode particles by spraying airflow.
 A series of scientists' works are aimed at improving the design of spray heads of electric arc metallizers, which involves improving the design of the air nozzle through the use of inserts and devices providing a change in the spraying airflow, and leads to a significant increase in the price of the process.
 To reduce the oxidizing effect of the spraying airflow on the liquid metal of the electrodes the method of pulsating air injection into the electrode melting zone has been developed.
 This paper presents the influence of the pulsating spraying flow on the indicators of abrasive wear and reduction of oxidation of metal particles, at the arc metallization to obtain coatings with the specified properties and application of resource-saving.

Summary

Introduction

The research data on the influence of the pulsating flow on the decrease of the influence of air oxygen on the liquid metal of electrodes at the arc spraying with the pulsating spraying flow, on the metal mass transfer are given in [5,6,7,8]. There are no data on the influence of the pulsating spraying airflow on the technological parameters of the spraying, such as abrasive wear and reduction of oxidation of metal particles. The complex of studies of durability at abrasive wear of coverings, by a method of arc metallization with the use of the pulsator developed for industrial application, was carried out. Chemical composition of wires of solid cross-section, which were used in the research process for the application of coatings is given in the table.
