PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cold spray device which heats a raw material powder stably to a temperature capable of improving a spraying efficiency without impairing the operability of a spray gun, and eliminstes the unstable factor. SOLUTION: A carrier gas heater 10 provided in the cold spray device is constituted of a gas tube 10 with a heating function, which is constituted of a heat generation resistor that generates the heat by electronic resistance through energization and heats a carrier gas flowing in the inside. The gas tube 10 with a heating function is formed by arranging a plurality of gas tube units in series, wherein each gas tube unit is a heat generation resistor having a length of the energization distance of 1-5 m. The carrier gas heater 10 is fixed to a cold spray gun 11 in such a manner that the central axis 21 of each gas tube unit having a coil shape becomes parallel to the central axis 20 of the cold spray gun 11 so as to be unified with the spray gun 11. Thereby, the operability is also improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
