Abstract The fluid and particle dynamics of a High-Velocity Oxygen-Fuel Thermal Spray torch are analyzed using computational and experimental techniques. Three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results are presented for a curved aircap used for coating interior surfaces such as engine cylinder bores. The device analyzed is similar to the Metco Diamond Jet Rotating Wire (DJRW) torch. The feed gases are injected through an axisymmetric nozzle into the curved aircap. Premixed propylene and oxygen are introduced from an annulus in the nozzle, while cooling air is injected between the nozzle and the interior wall of the aircap. The combustion process is modeled using a single-step finite- rate chemistry model with a total of 9 gas species which includes dissociation of combustion products. A continually-fed steel wire passes through the center of the nozzle and melting occurs at a conical tip near the exit of the aircap. Wire melting is simulated computationally by injecting liquid steel particles into the flow field near the tip of the wire. Experimental particle velocity measurements during wire feed were also taken using a Laser Two-Focus (L2F) velocimeter system. Flow fields inside and outside the aircap are presented and particle velocity predictions are compared with experimental measurements outside of the aircap.

Material SS316 seringkali digunakan untuk komponen yang bekerja pada temperatur tinggi dengan resiko mengalami oksidasi yang menyebabkan penurunan sifat material dan umur pakai dari komponen. Deposisi Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) NiCr+Cr3C2+Al2O3 dan NiCr+WC12Co+Al2O3 menggunakan metode High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray coating dengan parameter konstan dilakukan sebagai proses perlakuan pada permukaan SS316 untuk meningkatkan nilai kekerasan dan ketahanan terhadap oksidasi.  Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh proses oksidasi lapisan MMC pada material substrat SS316. Proses oksidasi dilakukan dengan variasi temperatur 500° dan 600°C, penahanan temperatur selama 6 jam, kemudian diteruskan dengan karakterisasi serta perhitungan laju oksidasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan spesimen MMC NiCr+Cr3C2+Al2O3 yang dilakukan proses oksidasi pada suhu 500°C memiliki laju oksidasi terendah yaitu 6,67 x 10-7 gram/mm2 jam.
