 Abstract:
TriplexPro®-200 is a second generation plasma gun technology that offers multiple benefits in terms of rates of application and deposit efficiencies. This paper focuses on triplex technology as it relates to daily operational aspects of a typical thermal spray facility. Today TriplexPro®-200 is the only plasma gun technology that features ?fixed? parameter operation for extended run times which has significant impact at multiple levels within the spray shop. Data presented will compare triplex to first generation plasma technology with regards to quality, training, simplification, and process reliability. In addition, basic cost of operation data will be presented.
