Abstract:
An arrangement ( 40 ) and process for coating a vehicle component ( 30 ) with a solid lubricant including a thermal spray device ( 10 ) having a spray direction along a spray line (S) corresponding to a central axis of a spray plume ( 16 ); a solid lubricant injection device ( 20 ) having an injection direction along an injection line (L) corresponding to a central axis of an injection plume ( 24 ); and a vehicle component ( 30 ) to be coated, having a surface ( 31 ) arranged at a distance (d) from an outlet orifice ( 13 ) of the thermal spray device ( 10 ) along the spray line (S). The solid lubricant injection device ( 20 ) is positioned such that the injection line (L) intersects the spray line (S) at an intersection point (P), which is intermediate the outlet orifice ( 13 ) of the thermal spray device ( 10 ) and the surface ( 31 ) of the component ( 30 ) to be coated. Also a process for thermal spray coating a vehicle component ( 30 ) with a solid lubricant coating and a vehicle, with such a coated component.

Claim (Index 10):
A process according to  claim 7 , wherein the process further comprises a step of:\n (ix) moving the thermal spray device and the vehicle component relative to each other, while simultaneously maintaining the distance and the positioning of the solid lubricant injection device relative to the thermal spray device.
