ABOUT THE COVER
The electric arc wire spray process uses twometallic wires, usually of the same composition,
as the coating feedstock. The two wires are electrically charged with opposing polarity and
fed into the arc gun at controlled speeds. When wires are brought together at the contact
point, opposing charges create enough heat to continuously melt the wire tips. Compressed
air is used to atomizemoltenmaterial and accelerate it onto the workpiece surface to form
the coating.
