Claims
- 1. In a method of coating surfaces by flame spraying a material selected from the group consisting essentially of a particulate material selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, boron tanalum, tungsten, tungsten carbide, alumina, zirconia, oxides of chrome, titania, alloys of nickel and chromium with iron and mixtures of these, said material having a particle size smaller than 80 - mesh in an admixture with a mixture of a thermoplastic resin and a phenolic resin in a cured state wherein said material comprises from about 75 percent to about 971/2 percent by weight of total composite with the balance being said phenolic resin and thermoplastic resin in a ratio to each other of 4:1 to 1:9 comprising
- introducing said admixture in a wire form in a flame spraying zone; and
- flame spraying said cured admixture onto a surface, whereby a coating of an improved hardness and adherence is obtained.
- 2. The method as defined in claim 1 and wherein the curing is by an extrusion of a crushed admixture of said resins and powder.
- 3. The method as defined in claim 1 and wherein the curing is by double extrusion of the crushed admixture.
- 4. The method as defined in claim 1 and wherein the curing is by extrusion and post curing of said extruded admixture.
- 5. The method as defined in claim 1 and wherein the flame spraying is in a controlled manner and whereby the same is by controlling the release of said material from said binder by a feeding rate of said material from 7 to 30 inches per minute, as a wire, and an amount of said phenolic resin binder in said wire, whereby the phenolic resin binder is from 2.5 to 20 percent by weight of said admixture and the thermoplastic resin is from 2.5 to 22.5 percent by weight of said admixture.
