INVENTION SIMPLiFIES
RESURFACING OF METAL
Fine Coat Put on by Method Based
on Action of Lead Bullets
From Rifle.

When lead bullets shot from a rifle
strike a surface which they cannot
penetrate they are instantly dis
persed in a shower of molten lead.
An ingenious inventor is now using
this popularity as the basis of an
apparatus for coating various objects
with a thin film of metal. By means
of this metal pistol it is possible
to cover iron or steel articles with an
extremely thin but very strong layer
of aluminium, zine, copper, lead or
other metal.
The metal, which is to compose the
deposit, is supplied in the form of a
fine wire. This wire, led through the
butt of the pistol" is fed into
small but intensely hot flame, which
meits it in a flash. Below the fame
and directed along the barrel of the
pistol is a powerful jet of gas or air,
which pulverizes the drops OF molten
metal as they fall, converting them
into a metllic mist, like the micro
scopic drops from a scent spray.
AS particles of dust are borne on
the wind, SO are the dropletS of metal
rushed through the air at speed of
nearly 700 miles an hour. Naturally,
they soon become solid again in the
powerful air jet.
If body moving a high speed is
brought to a dead stop. heat is gen.
Grated. So, when the spray from the
pistol consisting of millions of
minute specks of metal, strikes the
surface against which it is directed
the heat generated al the moment of
impact is sufficient to remelt the par
ticles.
The molten particles instantly be-
come welded to the surface, which,
under the continual bombardment,
soon becomes covered with film of
the new metal.
So dense is this covering, and so
firmly does it adhere, that nothing
short of filling will remove it. yet its
thickness is less than that of a coat
of paint.
