<p>The plasma torch of this disclosure provides a shielded plasma arc using an external powder feed and an inert gas shield. The torch of this disclosure has a smaller outside diameter than prior art torches and allows better orientation of the torch with respect to a substrate to be hard faced. A method of hard surfacing an article, preferably using the torch of this invention, is also disclosed. The rotation of the article, a valve body, is controlled during hard facing to prevent deflects.</p> |
