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 12):
