A system (), apparatus (), and method () for monitored thermal spraying. One or more sensors () are used to capture one or more types of measurements () to monitor the thermal spraying process. A processor () can analyze a waveform () of measurements (), such as electrical measurements (). The processor () can then initiate a response () such as a warning () or an automatic adjustment () that is triggered by an identified operating condition ().

System, apparatus, and method for monitored thermal spraying

A method of thermally depositing metal onto a target surface using a plasma transferred wire arc thermal spray apparatus, wherein the method includes the steps of offsetting the central axis of a consumable wire with respect to an axial centerline of a constricting orifice; and establishing and operating a plasma transferred wire arc between a cathode and a free end of the consumable wire; and melting and atomizing a continually fed free end of the consumable wire into molten metal particles and projecting the particles onto said target surface.
