Abstract: An improved kinetic spray nozzle system design is disclosed. The nozzle includes an improved powder injector having an injector tube and a sleeve wherein the injector tube is received in the sleeve and secured to the sleeve. The powder injector further includes an air gap defined between an inner diameter of the sleeve and an outer diameter of the injector tube wherein the air gap is from 50 to 200 microns. The improved injector is capable of spraying a variety of powder materials including hard and "gummy" powders without clogging for extended periods of time. The improved injector design allows the use of higher main gas temperatures to achieve improved coating formation and deposition efficiencies. Most importantly, the improved design makes it possible to use the kinetic spray system with a wide range of powder materials in a manufacturing setting without interruptions caused by powder injector clogging.

Abstract: A gas collimator (40') for use in a kinetic powder spray system is disclosed. The collimator (40') reduces turbulence of the main gas and results in significant increases in the amount of particles deposited on a substrate using the system. The collimator (40') enables the main gas temperature to be reduced. Also disclosed is a low pressure injection method for a kinetic spray system. The coaxial, low pressure injection method enables the use of low pressure powder feeders, which are low cost, technologically mature, and widely available commercially.
