1.2
General Guidelines
All persons concerned with thermal spraying must know and understand
these safe practices and the safety regulations contained in established
standards.
Pertinent established standards are listed in "Related
Publications" on page vii.
Information presented in this manual and on various labels, tags, and
plates on the unit pertains to equipment design, installation, operation,
maintenance, and troubleshooting that should be read, understood, and
followed for the safe and effective use of this equipment.
The installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of thermal
spray equipment requires practices and procedures that ensure personal
safety and the safety of others. Therefore, this equipment is to be
installed, operated, and maintained by qualified persons as specified in this
manual and in accordance with all applicable codes such as, but not
limited to, those listed in section 1, and the corresponding sections of the
manual. You should thoroughly understand and comply with local, state,
and federal (OSHA) health standards, especially when handling toxic
materials.
1.3
1.3.1
1.3.2
High Temperatures
Thermal spraying operations generate extremely high temperatures.
NEVER point thermal spray equipment at any person or flammable
material.
Issued: 10/11
Page 2
1.3.3
Hazardous Materials
Toxic Wastes
Preparations for thermal spraying, the process itself, or subsequent
finishing operations may generate toxic materials. Dispose of them
according to the EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA).
Flammable Solvents and Sealer Bases
Certain de-greasing solvents and sealer bases are flammable and require
special use, handling, and storage precautions in and around the thermal
spray area.
Metal Dusts and Powders
Treat airborne metal dusts, finely divided solids, or accumulations as
explosives. Minimize the danger from dust explosions by providing
adequate ventilation in spray booths. Install a cartridge-type dry dust
collection system to collect spray dust.
1.4
1.4.1
Issued: 10/11
Page 3
Be sure the work area is adequately ventilated before opening any gas
valves. Drain the regulator of gas and release the regulator adjusting
screw before SLOWLY opening the cylinder valves. ALWAYS stand
away from the direction of force when opening cylinder valves.
Install pressure reducing regulators in accordance with ANSI/AWS Z49.1.
Use only the appropriate regulator for each gas cylinder: USE ONLY
ACETYLENE REGULATORS ON ACETYLENE TANKS OR
MANIFOLD SYSTEMS. Always use the correct size wrench to connect
the regulator to the cylinder valve outlet; NEVER force or overtighten a
connection.
NEVER use oil or grease on a regulator.
1.4.2
Flow Meters
Install and use flow meters in accordance with ANSI/AWS Z49.1. Avoid
unsafe operating conditions and ensure proper flame balance by installing
backflow prevention devices in conjunction with the flow meters. Place a
protective shield on flow meters with glass tubes.
Install and use hose and hose connections according to ANSI/AWS Z49.1
and the Specification for Rubber Welding Hose published by the
Rubber Manufacturers Association and the CGA. Handle hoses carefully
to avoid damage. Use hoses only in the applications for which they are
designed. Blow out hoses to remove any dust. Avoid any ignition sources.
Turn regulator adjusting screws slowly to prevent surges that may crack or
burst flow meter tubes. Overtightening can collapse the nipple nose, so
NEVER OVERTIGHTEN the connecting nuts on pressure reducing
regulators and flow meters. If a fitting does not seal without undue force,
replace it.
NEVER use a flame to check for gas leaks. Use soapy water to check all
hose connections for leaks. Soapy water provides a safer, more sensitive
test.
If any connections leak, depressurize, open the connection, clean the
sealing surfaces and threads, re-assemble, pressurize, and test for leaks. If
a leak persists, depressurize the system.
Issued: 10/11
Page 4
EXPLOSION HAZARD:
NEVER USE LEAKING THERMAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT.
Place a Danger Do Not Operate tag on the defective equipment to
alert others to the unsafe condition.
Obstructed gas lines caused by defective hoses, collapsed hose stems, or
dirt in the gun head gas passages or nozzle jets require excessive gas
pressure to obtain proper gas flow.
If required oxygen and fuel gas pressure are more than 3 psi (0.2 bar) over
the recommended pressure, check for a fouled nozzle or incorrect air cap.
Low pressures often indicate a serious leak. Shut down the equipment and
correct the condition before restarting the system.
EXPLOSION HAZARD:
Acetylene pressures exceeding 15 psi (1.03 bar) may cause the gas to
detonate. If this pressure of 15 psi (1.03 bar) is insufficient, use another
fuel gas.
1.4.3
Compressed Air
Always refer to gases by their proper names to avoid confusion.
Never use compressed air, oxygen, or fuel gas to clean clothing.
For thermal spraying or blasting operations, use compressed air only at
recommended pressures. Keep the air line free of oil and moisture.
Consult an equipment dealer for filter and after-cooler recommendations.
1.4.4
Issued: 10/11
Page 5
Properly seating and lubricating the gun's oxygen, fuel gas, and
compressed air valves helps the gun operate freely and shut off
completely.
Extinguish gun backfires as quickly as possible.
Determine the cause of gun backfires or blowouts BEFORE relighting.
When you have completed spray operations, when you are shutting down
the equipment, or when you leave the equipment unattended, release all
gas pressure from the regulators and hoses.
EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD:
NEVER hang a flame spraying gun or its hoses on regulators or cylinder
valves.
1.4.5
Issued: 10/11

Avoid contact between any ungrounded portion of the plasma or arc gun
and the spray booth or chamber. Electrically isolate plasma guns and
nozzles from support brackets to prevent stray high frequency current
from damaging other electrical equipment and controls.

Protecting Workers
The general requirements for the protection of thermal spraying operators
and welders are the same as those published in ANSI/AWS Z49.1, Safety
in Welding and Cutting; ANSI Z87.1, Standard Practices for
Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection; ANSI Z88.2,
Standard Practices for Respiratory Protection; and ANSI Z89.1,
Standard Practices for Industrial Head Protection with Low Voltage
Hazards.
1.5.1
Eye Protection
Spraying and blasting operations require eye protection in the form of
helmets, hand shields, face shields, or goggles. See ANSI Z87.1 and
Z89.2 for recommendations. Operators MUST use protection against
infrared and ultraviolet radiation and flying particles. Provide all helpers
and adjacent operators with suitable eye protection as well. Equip the eye
protection with a suitable filter plate to protect against ultraviolet, infrared,
and intense visible light radiation (see Table 1-1).

1.5.2
Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection is necessary for most spray and blast operations.
Selection of device is determined, in accordance with ANSI Z88.2, by the
nature, type, and magnitude of the fume and gas involved. Select only
devices approved by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), or an other approved
authority. Suggested devices for typical thermal spraying and blasting
operations include:
Blasting in the open: use a mechanical filter respirator with a face
shield and dust hood or a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Thermal spraying in confined or semi-confined spaces: use an air line
respirator. Use a device similar to the one described below for abrasive
blasting.
Abrasive blasting in confined or enclosed spaces: use a continuous
flow air line respirator consisting of a continuous flow air line respirator,
a full face piece or helmet, and dust hood sufficient to protect the head and
neck from rebounding abrasive material. Minimum air flow to the
respirator should be 4 CFM (113.3 L/minute) at the face piece and 6 CFM
(170 L/minute) entering the helmet or hood. Fresh air blowers are
preferred to compressed air as an air source of respirator air. If adequate
ventilation is not provided, use an in-line vortex cooler when possible for
operator comfort. Filter the air supply line to remove objectionable odors,
oil or water mist (or both), and rust particles from the air. Locate the air
intake to ensure the respirator receives clean, dry air (CDA). If gaseous
air contaminants such as carbon monoxide are possible, use a separate air
purifier. Grade D or better compressed air is considered breathable.
Thermal spraying in an open or a well-ventilated work area: additional
respiratory protection may not be necessary. In borderline cases, use
approved mechanical filter respirators for protection against dust and
metal fumes. Borderline cases are those that consist of light work or short
duration with nontoxic materials, but with some dust exposure.
Continuous flow air line respirators are adequate for thermal spraying
operations involving most commonly used materials. If the respirator air
supply fails and the contaminant in the space is not immediately harmful
to health, the operator may stop operations, remove the supply line, and
return to breathable air.
Issued: 10/11
Page 9
When highly toxic materials are being applied, the contaminated air is
considered immediately harmful and the operator MUST NOT remove
the respirator. In these applications, the respirator must be equipped with
an emergency auxiliary source of breathable air that the operator can
breathe while working in the confined space.
1.5.3
Noise Protection
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires
employers to provide safe working conditions. OSHA also requires
employees to comply with all rules, regulations and orders that apply to
their actions and conduct. OSHA does not provide thermal sprayingspecific rules but establishes general rules for the control of unsafe and
unhealthy elements.

Hearing Protection
If noise at your site exceeds the limits established by OSHA in
paragraph 1910.95, entitled "Occupational Noise Exposure" of the
Occupational Safety and Health Standards, you should provide ear and
or other protection to everyone near thermal spray operations to bring the
exposure within OSHA permissible, tolerable noise levels. Limit workers'
exposure to noise according to federal standards prescribed under the
Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Protect operators, nearby workers, and transient passers-by from thermal
spray noise: at the source, during its transmission, or at the receiver.
Managing any of these can solve the noise problem. Each situation
Issued: 10/11
Page 12
Isolate Equipment
Isolate noise by moving it away from affected personnel or placing the
equipment in an acoustically insulated enclosure. Praxair Surface
Technologies offers spray rooms that enclose spray operations and confine
noise. These rooms are designed to limit the noise level to specified limits
Issued: 10/11
Page 13
1.5.4
Protective Clothing
When working in confined spaces, wear flame resistant clothing, and
leather or rubber gauntlet gloves. Clothing should fit snugly around the
wrists and ankles to keep sprayed materials and dust away from the skin.
For work in the open, ordinary clothing may be sufficient. However, open
shirt collars and unbuttoned pocket flaps are potential hazards. Always
wear high-top shoes and cuffless trousers that cover the tops of the shoes.
If workers will be spraying toxic materials, consult a material supplier for
information on protective clothing.
Plasma spraying generates intense ultraviolet radiation that can cause a
"sunburn" through normal clothing. When plasma spraying, wear clothing
such as thick, tightly woven wool clothing that provides protection against
radiation. Also wear appropriate eye protection. For more intense
exposure, leather capes or aluminized clothing is necessary. Take care to
attach aluminized clothing to the outside of the face shield so radiation is
Issued: 10/11
Page 14
not reflected onto the face shield. Wear aluminized gloves and dark, fireretardant clothing.
Arc spraying radiation protection is similar to that for electric arc welding
and is outlined in ANSI/AWS Z49.1. Some arc spraying guns are
equipped with an arc shield that protects the operator from direct exposure
to the arc. Also use a helmet if any parts of the body are exposed to direct
arc radiation or if exceptionally reflective substrates are being sprayed.
1.5.5
Confined Spaces
Spaces such as a closed tank, boiler, pressure vessel, or ship compartment
are considered confined spaces. Review AWS F3.2, Recommended Safe
Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers
and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances, if the confined
space previously held combustible materials.
Work in confined spaces requires ventilation. See the standards referred
to in "Compressed Gas Cylinders" in section 1.4.1 of this manual for
ventilation requirements. When you are thermal spraying in any confined
space, keep the gas cylinders out of the work space.
1.5.5.1
Issued: 10/11
Page 15
1.5.5.2
Factors to Consider
To eliminate the chance of gas escaping through leaks or improperly
closed valves, prior to entering the confined space, close the gun valve,
and shut off the gas supply at a point outside the confined space. If
possible, remove the gun and hose from the confined space. Evaluate
oxygen level inside the confined space with oxygen monitoring
equipment. The amount of contamination to which an operator is exposed
during spray operations depends on many factors. Consider the following
factors when selecting ventilation systems for operator safety:
Page 16
Page 17
1.6
Toxic Material
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD:
Almost any material, in finely divided form, can damage the respiratory
system. Damage is often not sensed immediately. Take care to keep
floors, work benches, and booths free of dusty residues. Carefully clean
protective clothing to remove dust, or discard clothing after use.
Specific precautions for protecting the health of spray equipment
operators vary according to the type of material being sprayed.
1.6.1
1.6.2
Cadmium
Cadmium is highly toxic and hazardous. Use respiratory protective
equipment such as fume respirators approved by the U.S. Bureau of
Mines, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), or
other approving authority.
Issued: 10/11
Page 18
1.6.3
1.6.4
1.6.5
Solvents
The radiation generated by plasma or arc spraying causes rapid
decomposition of some solvent vapors into noxious and toxic gases, even
at considerable distance from the arc. Slow extraction of the part from the
solvent cleaning tank can reduce this problem. When spraying vapordegreased parts, take extra care to see that all solvent (vapors or liquid
films or drops of solvent caught by pockets and crevices) is removed prior
to thermal spraying.
The ultraviolet radiation from plasma and arc spraying generates airborne
ozone. The amount of ozone produced may exceed the maximum
allowable concentration in confined spaces. Excess ozone production
should be avoided.

Operation
Operating Parameters
An operating parameter is a group of settings, such as amperage, current,
and air pressure that, used together, produce a desirable coating. Factors
that affect the coating quality include:
Surface preparation
Part cooling
Overspray control
Hardware selection
Wire characteristics
Gun and part manipulation.
Only qualified and trained operators should be permitted to operate
thermal spray equipment.
4.2
Surface Preparation
Page 35
Roughening Methods
Roughening is commonly done by grit blasting with aluminum
oxide or various other media such as silicon carbide, glass, various
slag materials, iron, steel, etc. Roughness is expressed in terms of
micro-inches or micrometers and as a statistical average, e.g., 125
micro-inches AA (arithmetic average) or CLA (centerline
average).
Recommended surface roughness is 125 to 400 RMS.
Issued: 08/13
Page 36
4.2.3
Factors to Consider
Grit
Choice of grit is driven by cost, availability, and technical
considerations. A few guidelines can help prevent coating or
substrate failures.
Some materials tend to embed in the substrate surface acting as a
stress riser and initiating fatigue failure. Silicon carbide and glass
display this substrate-contaminating characteristic. Aluminum
oxide, or alumina, s a preferred overall grit choice.
Residual grit causes other problems as well. Siliceous materials,
such as sand and glass, can react with the substrate at high
temperatures. Iron and aluminum alloys form eutectic
compositions with silicon. The lower melting points of eutectic
compositions can be a problem because operating temperatures of
the substrates increase. Carefully select a blast medium that is
compatible with the coating system and its intended operating
environment.
If ceramics are used for blasting prior to the application of a fusible
or laser-clad coating, ceramic residue can act as a stop off,
preventing or weakening the bond. Steel or iron grit is preferred for
fusible coating applications.
Expensive blast media, like alumina, may be cost-prohibitive
where the grit cannot be recovered or recycled in process. Grit
throughput under normal blasting conditions is several hundred
pounds per hour. Slag from copper or iron smelting is often used
for structural work because of its low cost.
Other Grit-blasting Variables
Other variables to consider are air pressure, nozzle size (I.D. or
inner diameter),standoff distance, and angle of attack.
Air pressure and nozzle size determine grit velocity. Common
nozzle size is a -inch (6 mm) nozzle. Generally, air pressure is
fixed as a process parameter, and, as the nozzle wears (increasing
the inner diameter), velocity drops. Consequently, nozzle inner
diameter becomes a Quality Control point for the process. Use a
Issued: 08/13
Page 37
simple go/no-go plug gauge for the I.D. to keep the grit blast
process in check.
Much grit blasting is done manually, so stand-off and angle
become variables. Fortunately, these variables are reasonably
error-tolerant. Variations of 1 inch (2.54 cm) in stand-off and
several degrees of angle are not usually critical. Blasting is
generally done perpendicular, or 90, to the surface. For some
materials and blast media, moving 5 to 15 off-axis minimizes grit
embedding.
To achieve a desired surface roughness, changing grit size is more
effective than varying pressure. Higher pressures produce slightly
higher roughness values but also increase embedment and substrate
interface hardness. Changing the grit size slightly yields greater
surface roughness control with fewer negative effects.
Alternate roughening techniques exist besides (and sometimes in
place of) conventional grit blasting. Machining can roughen a
surface in preparation for coating. Rough threading, knurling,
embossing, and so on are used to disrupt the substrate surface.
These techniques are decades old and still have some merit, but are
not recommended for use with the BP400. Undercutting a shaft
reduces its cross-sectional area, its strength, and creates notches or
stress risers. Modern engineering safety factors may not be as great
as they were when these techniques were introduced. High strength
materials, induction hardened steels, and so on may have a greater
susceptibility to fatigue, and higher design loads and RPMs in
newer equipment increase the possibility of fatigue.
Special Considerations
Take care when grit blasting a notch-sensitive material such as
titanium. Shot peen the surface prior to grit blasting. This sets up a
compressive residual stress in the surface, which often offsets the
negative effects of grit blasting. Peen with glass beads or metallic
shot as the application dictates.
4.2.4
Masking
Page 38
4.3
Part Cooling
Use cooling jets to provide a stream of gas or dry air at or near the point of
impingement of the coating stream on the substrate. The gas or air cools
the substrate and blows away unmolten particles and smoke (overspray).
Choose the cooling gas based on the material being sprayed. Use argon or
nitrogen for readily oxidized materials. Choose argon with materials such
as titanium, which forms a nitride easily Carbon dioxide can be a cooling
gas, or dry air may be used if oxides are not a concern.
4.4
Gun Manipulation
Surface speed, pitch, standoff, and angle of impingement are significant
variables in producing a coating with desired characteristics.
Generally, a gun surface speed of about 1200 in/min (0.5 m/sec) is
desirable for most applications. The ideal surface speed is one that creates
deposits of approximately 0.001 in/pass (25.4 microns/pass) for metallic
and coarse materials and 0.0005 in/pass (12.7 microns/pass) for ceramic
and fine materials. This thickness buildup ate decreases residual stress,
increases maximum thickness buildup, and decreases porosity. Adjust
traverse speed as required to obtain the desired buildup.
Pitch or increment is the step or feed of the gun motion associated with
traverse. Generally a pith or increment of 0.125-0.200 inch (3-5 mm) per
revolution is desirable Adjust pitch to prevent striping or "barber poling."
Issued: 08/13
Page 39
Stand-off is the distance from the front of the gun to the surface of the part
being sprayed. It is usually that point where the particles are hot enough to
form the coating while the heat transfer from the gun to the part is as low
as possible. BP400 gun standoff ranges from 7 to 10 inches (178 to 254
mm). Spray stream should be perpendicular (within +/- 15 degrees) to the
part surface.
