TAFA, INC.

Arc-spray metallizing system can melt and spray nickel, stainless steel, bronze, copper, and other wire. Coatings produced reportedly have high bond strength because inter-particle adhesion is high. Metals deposited are said to be resistant to chipping or cracking when machined by conventional methods. A major application is sprayed-metal mold surfaces. Spray gun is similar to those used for paint. Wires are fed automatically and, although molten deposits are applied, substrate reportedly undergoes only a slight rise in temperature. An electric arc melts the ends of two electrically isolated coating wires, and an atomizing air jet blows the fine metal particles onto the surface being decorated. Typical spray rates range from 5 to 150 lb/hr.

Are-spray technique is suitable in metallizing capacitors and similar electronic system components; in electro-magnetic shielding of plastic housings; providing metal coatings on plastics for wear resistance, thermal conductivity, abrasion resistance; and in producing finely detailed molds for plastics.
