TWIN ARC WIRE COATINGS

PROCESS DESCRIPTION:

Fusion, Inc., a precision machine shop specializing in anti-corrosion coatings and metal alloy spraying, incorporates a twin Arc wire process using two metallic wires which are electrically charged with opposing polarity and are fed into the arc gun at matched, controlled speeds. When the wires are brought together at the contact point, the opposing charges on the wires create enough heat to continuously melt the tips of the wires. Compressed air is used to atomize the now molten material and accelerate it onto the substrate to form the coating.
