Application filed'February 19, 1914. Serial No. 819,722.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MAx ULRICH Sonoor,
a citizen of the Swiss Republic, residing at Zurich, in Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Spraying Molten Metal and other Fusible Substances, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to eflt'ect improvements in the art of coating surfaces or articles of various kinds with metal and other fusible substances, by projecting the substance in a molten state, in the form of a spray.
According to my invention the melting is effected by means of electric current assing In the drawing, a and b designate twofeed tubes, which terminate in nozzles and are preferably made of iron, the tube .b forming the armature of an electromagnet 0.
Through these tubes two wires w 20 are .fed by means of feed rolls (1, so that the ends of the wires, issuing'from the nozzles, cross 'each other as shown in the drawing. The. as"
two feed tubes, and'the wires'issuing there- .from, form parts of an electric circuit, other parts of which are shown at Z?,'Z and ourrent flows in this circuit, as indicated-by arrows. The coils of the electromagnet also form part of the circuit. The tube];v is elastically supported, so that it can vibrate,
* and the tubes areplaced at an angle of about 90 to'each other, with the wires making slight frictional contact where they cross, and with the nozzles spacedapart only a When the electromagnet. c
- where the wire electrodes'cross, in order to direct a stream. of air or other. gas onto the electrodes. ,The blast apparatus may be Specification of Letters Patent.

used for driving a turbine whereby the wire feed mechanism is actuated.
The action of the apparatus is as fol-- lows :Gurrent flowing through the circuit,
while the electrodes are in touch, energizes the electromagnet .cywh'ereby the electrodes are drawn apart, and a, small arc is formed, accompanied by melting of some' of the metal. This molten metal is at once driven away, in the form of a fine spray, by the stream of gas from the pipe n, which also blows out the arc in statu nascendz', so that the magnet allows the electrodes to approach each other again. The magnet is then again energized, and anothei arc is formed, and so on, the action being repeated with great rapidity, so that a continuous stream of sprayis driven from the electrodes and projected on to the surface to be coated.
The potential difi'erence at the electrodes varies, of course, according to the conductivity of the metal or other substance, and the thickness of the filament, values rangingfrom 40 to volts are generally suitable. The rate of consumptionof the positive elec- V trode is somewhat higher than that of the negative electrode, so I .use a more rapid feed, or a trode.
The vibratory arrangement which I have described may be applied to both the electrodes. Its advantage lies in the fact that.
tubes, and in some cases the electrodes tend to become sweated to each other, if a lower potential difference is used inorder to avoid an excessive are. I I
An angle of about.,90 for the two electrode 'tubes is found most advantageous for most' purposes, but the angle. may vary..
The best angle for theblast noz'zleis. easily ascertained in each particular case, as is also the most advantageousdistance of the blast nozzle from the electrodes; ,in some cases it is best to have the blast nozzle close to the" electrodes, but in others a distance of-20 or 30 mm, from the arcis better.
In the' case of some metals,- especially those of low melting point, part of the metal thicker wire, for the positive elec-.
may be vaporized by the current. The,
