Claims5
In a method of coating surfaces by flame spraying a material selected from the group consisting essentially of a particulate material selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, boron tanalum, tungsten, tungsten carbide, alumina, zirconia, oxides of chrome, titania, alloys of nickel and chromium with iron and mixtures of these, said material having a particle size smaller than 80 - mesh in an admixture with a mixture of a thermoplastic resin and a phenolic resin in a cured state wherein said material comprises from about 75 percent to about 971/2 percent by weight of total composite with the balance being said phenolic resin and thermoplastic resin in a ratio to each other of 4:1 to 1:9 comprising
- introducing said admixture in a wire form in a flame spraying zone;
- and
- flame spraying said cured admixture onto a surface, whereby a coating of an improved hardness and adherence is obtained.
