The invention relates to a process and device for producing a coating or a molding by means of high-velocity flame spraying, in which the powdered spray particles are injected into a flame jet of combustion gases by means of a powder tube and the spray particles are brought to a velocity of up to 800 m/sec when the flame jet is released in a Laval nozzle.
It is known that coatings can be applied to materials of the most varied type by thermal spraying. Known processes for this purpose are, for example, flame spraying, arc spraying, plasma spraying or high-velocity flame spraying. High-velocity flame spraying in the last two decades has become increasingly important. The special advantage of high-velocity flame spraying is that the coating material is less strongly heated and is accelerated onto the parts to be coated with much higher velocity than in flame spraying, arc spraying, or plasma spraying. For many laminated materials and applications, this entails advantages with respect to the properties of the layers.
In high-velocity flame spraying, a flame jet with a velocity exceeding 2000 m/s is produced by combustion under high pressure and the powder is injected into this jet. To produce the flame jet, a combustible gas or kerosene and oxygen are routed into the high-pressure combustion chamber of the spray gun. The combustible gases are propane, propylene, hydrogen, ethylene and acetylene. In the high-pressure combustion chamber, combustion takes place at a pressure from 0.3 to 0.5 MPa or 0.5 to 1.5 MPa. Spray guns that work in the lower of the indicated pressure ranges are assigned to the first and second generation, while spray guns in the high pressure range are assigned to the third generation. The flame jet reaches its high velocity by expansion. In the first and second generation, expansion takes place at the output of the spray gun. The spray particles e.g. WC—Co particles having sizes ranging from 10 to 45 μm here reach velocities in the range from roughly 400 to 500 m/s. In spray guns of the third generation, the expansion nozzle is located directly behind the high-pressure combustion chamber. Particle velocities in the range from 500 to 800 m/s are reached. A Laval nozzle is used for expansion of the combustion gases.
Laval nozzles consist of a convergent section and a downstream divergent section that adjoins it in the direction of flow. The contour of the nozzle must be shaped in a specific manner in the divergent area to minimize flow detachment and compression shocks, and so that the flow obeys Laval's equations laws as discussed for example in the text Gas Dynamics, Vol. 1, Zucrow and Hottman, John Wiley & Sons Inc., N.Y., pages 160–175.
Laval nozzles are thus characterized by this contour and the length of the divergent section and furthermore by the ratio of the exit cross-section to the narrowest cross-section. The narrowest cross-section of the Laval nozzle is called the nozzle throat.
Injection of the spray particles into the flame jet is accomplished by a variety of methods. In the spray guns of the first and second generation, the powder is injected axially and centrally into the high-pressure combustion chamber. In the spray guns of the third generation, the injection takes place either likewise axially and centrally or else the powder is injected behind the nozzle throat, radially into the already expanding flame jet. If the powder is injected in the high-pressure combustion chamber, the spray particles reach much higher temperatures than in injection behind the nozzle throat. The spray guns with powder feed into the combustion chamber are consequently only suited for heat-resistant materials, for example ceramics, while spray guns with radial spray particle feed at the gun outlet can also be used for spraying materials with a low melting point, such as for example aluminum and copper alloys. Radial injection of the spray particles, however, causes nonuniform acceleration of spray particles of the same size and thus different final velocities of these spray particles. Different velocities of the spray particles when hitting the workpiece, however, lead to irregularities and faults in the coating. Furthermore, in radial injection of the spray particles, the nozzle wall erodes at the location that is on the opposite side of the spray particle inlet. This increases the wear of the expansion nozzle that is heavily loaded anyway and consequently adversely affects the economic efficiency of the process.
Therefore, objects of this invention are to provide a process and a device for high-velocity flame spraying that injects the spray particles outside of the hot combustion chamber while avoiding the above-mentioned disadvantages of nonuniform acceleration and nozzle wall erosion.
Upon further study of the specification to appended claims, other objects and advantages will become apparent.
These objects are achieved according to the invention in that injection of the spray particles takes place axially and centrally in the divergent section of the Laval nozzle. The axial and central injection of spray particles ensures uniform acceleration of the spray particles. Since the spray particles are injected in the center of the flame jet, all particles undergo almost the same acceleration forces and consequently reach almost the same final velocity. Consequently, the coatings and moldings produced with the process according to the invention are of extremely high quality. In addition, axial and central spray particle injection prevents erosion of the inner nozzle wall, since the spray particles are injected in the direction of the flame jet and are guided by it straight ahead in the spray direction. Furthermore, this injection minimizes swirling and turbulence, and thus yields optimum acceleration of the spray particles. Other advantages accrue as a result of the injection site: By injection in the divergent section of the Laval nozzle, overheating and excessive melting of the spray particles are prevented. The powder does not travel into the combustion chamber and is added to the flame jet of combustion gases only when its temperature has decreased as a result of expansion in the nozzle. Injection in the divergent section of the Laval nozzle thus allows use of heat sensitive particles. Also with heat-resistant powders, it is possible to avoid excessive melting of the particles that adversely affects the quality of the coating.
In an advantageous variant of the invention, the passage for the flame jet has a circular ring-shaped cross-section at the narrowest point. The latter is bordered to the inside by the outside contour of the powder tube and to the outside by the inside contour of the nozzle tube. In this passage, the flame jet is accelerated. The consumption of combustion gases and thus fuel and oxygen is furthermore dictated by the size of the passage. Since the circular ring-shaped cross-section can be relatively small, the process economics are favorable.
The high-velocity flame spraying device according to the invention is characterized in that the powder tube ends axially and centrally in the divergent section inside the outside nozzle body. The arrangement of the powder tube according to the invention minimizes erosion of the outside nozzle body, since the direction of flow of the flame jet is considered in the arrangement of the flame jet and the spray particles when injected have minimal, if any velocity components in the direction of the outer nozzle wall. The high-velocity flame spraying device furthermore dictates the conditions for optimum acceleration of the spray particles by the central arrangement of the powder tube. Disruptive swirling and turbulence are largely stopped by the arrangement according to the invention. Because the powder tube ends only in the divergent section of the outer nozzle body, it becomes possible with the high-velocity flame spraying device to use easily melted spray particles that cannot withstand the high heat in the combustion chamber. It is also advantageous for the heat-resistant spray particles so that they are not overheated or do not begin to melt excessively.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the injection of the powdered particles takes place at a site that is located in the area between one-fourth and one-half of a segment with its starting point that is fixed by the nozzle throat and its end point by the nozzle exit, measurements being taken from the nozzle throat.
Alternatively, a Laval nozzle is formed from a powder tube located inside with a smooth cylindrical outer side and an outer nozzle body that is shaped accordingly on its inside.
The Laval nozzle is formed in another possibility in that the necessary contour for the Laval nozzle is applied partially to the outside of the powder tube and partially to the inside of the outer nozzle body.
The expansion ratio of the Laval nozzle, i.e., the ratio of the cross-sectional area for gas passage at the narrowest point to the cross-section at the outlet of the nozzle in one advantageous embodiment is between 1:2 and 1:25, preferably between 1:5 and 1:11.
In a preferred variant, the outer nozzle body in the convergent region has a circular ring-shaped cross-section that in the divergent area of the nozzle passes into a rectangular cross-section. Narrow areas and large surfaces are advantageously coated using rectangular shapes.
Advantageously, both the powder tube and also the outer nozzle body each is comprised of a metallic material, a ceramic, or a composite material with metallic or ceramic components. The powder tube and the nozzle body in one advantageous embodiment are comprised of different materials. They include various metal alloys, various ceramics, plastics or a combination of different materials, e.g., metal/ceramic, metal/plastic, and ceramic/plastic. Preferably the outer nozzle body is made of metal, while the inner powder tube is made of ceramic.
The powder tube and/or the outer nozzle body in one advantageous variant comprises—viewed in the direction of flow—two or more parts, in which the first part encompasses the area around the nozzle throat and the second part that extends to the nozzle outlet adjoins it. Here, the second part can be easily replaced and with respect to its shape and material selection is chosen according to the requirements of the various spray materials. In this case, the two parts just mentioned are comprised advantageously of different materials.

I ordered these in pewter and for the most part, they are comfortable. If you walk around in them for 2 hours or more, your toes start to get sore in the big toe area and the straps start to dig into the little toe. That would be the only complaint I would have. I bought 3 different types by the same shoe designer and out of the three, these are the most uncomfortable ones.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Keidel: The Book Of Eli, Written By Peyton
You laugh now, but there was a time, very recently, when it was a debate. There was a time, when we thought the kid had commandeered the throne. There was a time when, when we thought it was the dawn of one empire, and the dusk of another.
New York Giants Have 'Must-Win' Against Denver Broncos
Offensively, the New York Giants and Denver Broncos put up stellar statistics in their season openers last week. But in the stat that really counts, the Broncos have a 1-0 record, and the Giants are seeking their first victory in the 2013 NFL season.

It's like one by one, each and every stimulus around you takes over your mind and body. One by one, a sound or a feeling or a visual will become so engulfing that that one stimulus becomes your entire reality. That one thing becomes every thought that goes through your mind and every physical and emotional feeling you have.
One line of criticism holds that the DSM focuses too much on superficial symptoms of mental disorders, ignoring underlying dynamics. Instead of focusing on and naming clinical syndromes, critics say, the manual (and the field) ought to target the specific, disordered cognitive processes that underlie labels.
Whenever a person with a mental disorder (or assumed to have a mental disorder), veteran or civilian, commits a violent act that makes headlines, there is a call to address the "mental health issue" in violent crimes. However, what is meant by the "mental health issue" is generally unclear. The fact is that killings and overall violence are extremely rare by people with serious mental illness.

Best of L.A. 2005: Terrain
I recently lived in New York for three months. I missed many things about Los Angeles mostly its sense of space. I missed the sky, the landscape and the colorful sunsets. I missed the freeways, the freedom and independence that one has in ones car. I like that we have artificial views from non-artificial places and I like that there is an ambiguous border to Los Angeles. It just keeps going. In short, I missed all the things that New Yorkers typically loathe about Los Angeles. I think I love L.A.

I have been working at Royal Bank of Scotland full-timeDoesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEODoesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO
Employee facilities like Cab, Food are excellent.
RBS itself is a great organization.
Company building is also very good.
They understand their social responsibilities and support charities.
1. Once you join, hikes are very less. People get average 4% hike yearly. So it is very important that one should be aware of the cost of living in Gurgaon and do not let RBS HR fool you with a lower package, while joining the company. Because that will be the salary you have to survive for the entire time, you will spend in RBS.
2. All the work is done by Software designers in this gurgaon office and they are not paid any bonuses if not in the favorite list. Promotions are impossible to get.
3. If you are into development, settle for the minimum CTC = (your years of experience * 2.25). This is because whether you work for say 2 or 4 years - yearly appraisals like 2.5%, 4%, 3% will not increase your joining CTC much and you need to survive and maintain your living standards. Also to compensate for all the hard work you will be doing without any promotions and meager hikes.
4. They will ask developers to also do support activities on weekends without any extra pay.

Free food. Tea coffee for just 500 /- per month. Free transport
It was a good and branded organization but no more.
RBS Chennai.
Sincere suggestion. Never join RBS by seeing salary hike. It is not good organization who expect growth and recognition. If you dont want to take any challenges, and it is a good company to do valueless work and no where useful.
Poor project management,: Always busy with doing politics. This company is being run by bunch of illogical managers No seriousness and never take responsibility. hardly any other employee friendly policies,
1. Project Management is a complete failure.
2. Resources always remain insecure being here.Unpredictable future. Job security is a concern
3 Hidden layoffs.
They will never say that we don't have any work in projects, they will say your performance is not good that's why we don't want to continue with you and you can search for a new job.
So be careful before taking decision to join this company.

After all, Syme, a principal researcher in Microsoft's Cambridge, U.K., lab, has helped to develop and influence features of popular computer languages used by millions of programmers, C# in particular.
And soon Syme will get a new form of recognition: This month the Royal Academy of Engineering named Syme one of three winners of the prestigious Silver Medal for 2015.

I want to play video backward in AVPlayer. I have tried with changing rates property to -1.0, and although it did work it was not smooth. Is there any way through which I can smoothly play videos backward?
You have to reach at the end of the current item and then set the rate to the negative value. Something like this:
As stated in the comments, the problem is with keyframes and the fact that most codecs are not designed to play backwards. There are 2 options for re-encoding the video that doesn't require you to actually reverse the video in editing.
Note that either of this options will result in larger file sizes compared to typical "keyframe every x frames" encoded video.

By the way I'm not saying no one cheats. I've encountered a fair few cheaters myself while playing online (people who crushed me and were later banned).
I'll state it more directly then. You don't find it surprising that 2000 plus rated players cannot beat 1200 players in 3 or 5min Blitz ( not mouseclicking Bullet )?
I'm a bit higher than 2000 in Online. In fact, I'm always terribly upset when I occasionally drop below 2000 (seems as though its been two years or more since that depressive losing streak). My blitz rating vacillates between mid-1800s (rare) and mid-1400s (on very bad days). On those bad days, I usually lose a few games to 1200s. Other days, I usually beat them more than 95% of the time.
When I play Online games, I do the same thing as you guys, except I make my moves within 2 to 3 minutes tops.
I even use more time than that when playing (slow) OTB games! Of course I am forced to speed up later in the game because I will lose on time otherwise, but when there is no acute time pressure the average time per move is at least 5 minutes, and 15 minutes or more on one move is not uncommon. I am not sure how much time I use Online, but it's certainly much more than those 5 minutes per move (although over an hour is rare for me).
Also, as others already mentioned, when the position is tactically complicated I often delay the dicision one or more days, often the position is much clearer after a nights sleep.
bro u need to go and get a life instead on thinking about others i jst saw ur profile pic u look like 50years+ so get off from the couch and earn some cashhh
bahaha!! Indian homies be tellin' it like it iz yo. Keep it real bro, u ain't no try hard gangsta are ya
Interesting topic. I think that "Online Ratings" are fairly accurate (Compared to OTB ratings) as long as YOU DON'T CHEAT.
OTB has both elements of the game, the blitz and the long think porportion. For example, when in time trouble, the player has to blitz out the moves, while with more time the player can make more accurate moves.
I don't know if its good or not but maybe if we take both and take average of it to see a player's true strength?
I think percentile scores mean more. There, however, one must understand that the Chess.com pool is heavily tilted towards the casual player. If you are in the top ten percent of players in your nation, expect to be in the top 5% on Chess.com.
Are you referring to me? If I look 50 years plus, shouldn't I already be retired and not needing to earn "caaaaash"?? I don't get it - I guess you figure that out and get back with us.
