SPRAY DEPOSITION OF CALCIUM METAL ON NICKEL OR INCONEL
The inert--gas arc-spray method was studied in an effort to develop a continuous process for coating metals with calcium. Duplex electrode arc-spray equipment was used throughout the investigation. While the process appeared feasible, vapors produced during arc spraying and generally poor adhesion of the calcium to the base metal were considered the major deterrerts to the process. Other methods studied or investigated disclosed that the plasma-jet process improved the bonding between calcium and base metal, but that further research would be necessary to effect uniform coatings of calcium. The present state in Europe of arc-metal spraying was reviewed. No information on specific techniques was located in the literature. (auth)
