Title Noise produced by plasma spray coating, and hygiene measures to improve the technique
Original title Šum pri plazmennom napylenii i gigieničeskoe obosnovanie optimal'nyh tehnologičeskih režimov [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Apr. 1976, No.4, p.50-52. Illus.
Abstract Results of these studies: gas flow rate and composition and the nozzle diameter of the torch have a determining influence on the noise level and spectrum. Reduction of the spraying rate, inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the nozzle, markedly reduces the noise level. Other noise control measures: use of plasma torches in which the powder to be sprayed is introduced before reaching the anode; increasing the proportion of argon in the gas mixture; acoustic enclosure of spray-coating booths.
