Features: Thermal spray is an important surface engineering technology and anti-corrosion method. Arc thermal spray accounts for the highest proportion of thermal spray business. This book is a systematic monograph on arc spray technology, summarizing recent advancements in arc spray technology, equipment, materials, processes, quality control, coating design and testing methods, operational safety, and environmental protection in China and abroad. It also reflects some of the latest research findings and application examples. The content is advanced, rich in examples, and highly practical. The book consists of 8 chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction, providing an overview of thermal spray technology, followed by an introduction to the principles and development of arc spray technology, a comparison with other surface technologies, an analysis of the economic viability (lifecycle cost) of arc spray coatings, and a brief introduction to application areas and examples. Chapter 2 focuses on the composition of arc spray systems and the development of arc spray equipment in China and abroad. Chapter 3 classifies arc spray materials by chemical composition, introducing the supply technical conditions, properties, quality inspection methods of wire materials, and a brief overview of the production methods of arc spray materials. Chapter 4 covers arc spray coating design, introducing influencing factors, classification of corrosive environments, guiding principles for coating and composite coating system design under typical corrosive environments. Chapter 5 discusses arc spray processes, covering process design, surface pretreatment, arc spray, sealing treatment, and weld treatment methods. Chapter 6 focuses on arc spray quality control, analyzing quality control procedures and inspection points. Chapter 7 covers arc spray coating performance testing and evaluation, primarily elaborating on testing methods and standards for arc spray coatings, as well as the testing of coatings in China and abroad. Chapter 8 addresses arc spray operational safety and environmental protection, introducing safety construction and fire prevention measures, as well as commonly used protective equipment for operators. The appendix lists relevant standards and includes the full Chinese translation of the international standard ISO 2063:2005 "Thermal spray metallic and other inorganic coatings — Zinc, aluminum and their alloys." The primary readership includes engineering technicians seeking to understand metal spraying technology, designers involved in corrosion protection of steel structures and wear-resistant repair of mechanical components, professional technicians engaged in corrosion protection engineering construction and supervision, and technical management personnel. It can also serve as a reference textbook for business knowledge training and assessment of arc spray operators. The book is also suitable for undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in relevant fields at universities.
