PISTOLET DE PULVÉRISATION À FROID ET DISPOSITIF DE PULVÉRISATION À FROID ÉQUIPÉ DUDIT PISTOLET

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a cold spray gun and a cold spray apparatus equipped with the same, which are capable of effectively suppressing clogging of a raw material powder feeding port and operating the cold spray apparatus equipped with the cold spray gun by maintaining a working gas temperature at a high temperature closer to a melting point or a softening point of the raw material powder. In order to achieve the above described object, there is provided a cold spray gun configured to spray out a raw material powder transported by a carrier gas, together with a working gas heated to a temperature equal to or lower than a melting point or a softening point of the raw material powder as a supersonic flow and to cause the raw material powder to collide with a base material in a solid state, thereby to form a coating film. The cold spray gun is characterized by being equipped with: a chamber containing the working gas; a cold spray nozzle having a working gas flow path formed therein, at an outlet of which the working gas discharged from the chamber is sprayed out as a supersonic flow; a raw material powder feeding flow path that supplies the raw material powder to the working gas discharged from the chamber; and a cooling means for cooling the raw material powder feeding flow path.
