HIGH-HEAT-FLUX RESISTANCE HEATERS FROM VPS AND HVOF THERMAL SPRAYING

HIGH-HEAT-FLUX RESISTANCE HEATERS FROM VPS AND HVOF THERMAL SPRAYING Michels, D.; Hadeler, J.; Lienhard, John H This article describes the application of thermal spray techniques to produce resistance heating elements suitable for applying very large heat flaxes to solid surfaces. The surface to be heated is electrically insulated by deposition of a ceramic layer onto which a thin metallic layer is deposited; the metallic layer serves as the heating element. Each layer has a thickness in the ran
