Принадлежит: Magna International Inc

A plasma spray process used for coating surfaces of a variety of components made of a plastic substrate. Powder particles are injected into a plasma jet where they soften and then strike the surface at high velocity to produce a strongly adherent coating. The component or work piece the coating is being applied to remains cool because the plasma is localized at the plasma gun. The plasma spray process allows for the melting of glass particles, creating a transfer mechanism to the plastic substrate. Components having complex shapes can be coated, without the issues currently encountered in dip coating. The powder coating is applied via plasma spraying, as a protective layer, giving glass like surface properties to a component having complex molded or formed shapes.

The invention relates to a plasma spray method which can serve as a starting point for a manufacture of metal nanopowder, nitride nanopowder or carbide nanopowder or metal films, nitride films or carbide films. To achieve an inexpensive manufacture of the nanopowder or of the film, in the plasma spray in accordance with the invention a starting material (P) which contains a metal or silicon oxide is introduced into a plasma jet ( 113 ) at a process pressure of at most 1000 Pa, in particular at most 400 Pa. The starting material (P) contains a metal or silicon oxide which vaporizes in the plasma jet ( 113 ) and is reduced in so doing. After the reduction, the metal or silicon which formed the metal or silicon oxide in the starting material is thus present in pure form or in almost pure form. The metal or silicon can be deposited in the form of nanopowder or of a film ( 124 ). Nitride nanoparticles or films or carbide nanoparticles or films can be generated inexpensively by addition of a reactant (R) containing nitrogen or carbon.

A method for roughening and thermally coating a surface, in particular a cylinder running surface of an internal combustion engine, the roughening being the preparation of the surface for the thermal coating of the surface with a coating. The method is characterized in that different roughening profiles are introduced into the surface during the roughening and the coating has different properties distributed over the surface. This allows the coating or spraying process during the later thermal coating to be carried out with substantially constant spraying parameters. The different properties of the coating, such as hardness, porosity, machinability, chemical composition, oxidation and adhesion, are then obtained just on the basis of the differently roughened surface.
