PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive abrasion-resistant coating film which does not decrease LCF (Low Cycle Fatigue) strength of parts such as a fan and a compressor blade of a gas turbine engine, and has the long life. SOLUTION: The coating film is formed by thermal-spraying a cermet material to be thermal-sprayed (having metallic content of 50 to 80 wt.%) with an air-shrouded high-velocity flame spraying method, wherein the cermet material is prepared by depositing a metal (copper, silver, aluminum, nickel, or alloy thereof) that melts at a lower temperature than a thermal decomposition temperature of molybdenum disulfide, on the surface of particles of molybdenum disulfide.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal spray deposition method and the apparatus for forming a repairing/reinforcing coating film corresponding to the composition of a base body of a heat resistant gas turbine or an engine parts particularly the mechanical characteristics. SOLUTION: Microspray apparatus and method involve injecting powdered material into a plasma gas stream. The material comprises first and second component powder. The second powder is a majority by the weight of the powdered material. The first powder acts as a melting point depressant. The first and second powder may have similar compositions but with the first powder including a greater quantity of a melting point depressant element. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of enhancing the boundary adhesiveness of a spray deposit of a wear-resistant material to be deposited by the high-speed flame thermal spraying, increasing the inter-particle bonding force, and preventing occurrence of cracks. SOLUTION: In the method of forming the spray deposit by depositing a wear-resistant material in a multi-layered manner by relatively and reciprocally moving a high-speed flame thermal spraying gun nozzle facing at least one sliding surface of a sliding member, the thermal spraying is performed by increasing the supply of the wear-resistant material powder continuously or step by step. A thermal spray powder supplying apparatus has a function of automatically increasing the supply of the wear-resistant material powder on the basis of the thermal spraying elapsed time signal while forming the spray deposit.
