In a thermal spray process, a wire is fed into a flame-jet to heat said wire to the melting point, atomize and projected high velocity the droplets so formed against a surface to buildup a coating of material on the surface. The wire is fed into the flame by aligning the cast-plane of the wire with the flame-jet by using a tubular member formed into a circular shape to provide sufficient length to guide wire and to provide the necessary twist amount to the wire to align the cast-plane with the axis of the flame-jet. |
