Electric arc spray metalizing apparatus

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, An electric arc spray metalizing apparatus includes a spray gun which delivers a metalizing coating to the substrate, and a wire feed drive mechanism which pushes wires to the spray gun through cables. The wire is pushed by a pair of drive contact rollers or devices which are connected in a tandem relationship and operatively contact each wire to individually impart driving or pushing force to the wire. The wires are directed at the spray gun to an intersection point where electrical energy creates an arc for consuming the ends of the wires at the intersection point. The wires are electrically charged by contact with a curved wire guide as the wires are bent when …
