The invention relates to the technical field of
plasma spraying, in particular to
metal powder plasma spraying equipment which is characterized in that a
nozzle is mounted on a spray gun, a
powder conveying
pipe is mounted at the
nozzle, a plurality of gas conveying pipelines are uniformly arranged on the side wall of the spray
pipe around the axis of the spray
pipe, and an annular pipeline is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the spray pipe; the annular pipeline is communicated with the gas conveying pipeline, the annular pipeline is connected with an
argon supply
system through a flow guide pipe, an annular groove is formed in the end face, located at the outlet, of the spray pipe, and the gas conveying pipeline is communicated with the annular groove. According to the invention, the
metal powder is prevented from leaving the
plasma flame due to turbulent flow of the
mixed gas, so that the spraying phenomenon is avoided, and the
utilization rate of the spraying material of the
metal powder plasma spraying process is improved on the premise of ensuring that the production efficiency of the
metal powder plasma spraying process is not changed. The invention further provides a
metal powder plasma spraying process.
