Gemini Expands Thermal Spraying ServicesWith Metallisation Equipment

Gemini Corrosion Services Ltd is a world leader inprotecting steel structures, pipework and subsea pipelinesagainst corrosion. Gemini, a long term customer ofMetallisation, is committed to the Metallisation ARC528Esystem for the effective and efficient application ofprotective coatings.

Gemini, based in the north east of Scotland, has beenproviding high quality, cost effective surface preparationand protective coatings to the oil and gas industry fornearly 30 years. Gemini first used the MetallisationARC528E equipment back in 2005, when the companypurchased an automated pipe spraying machine. Since thattime, Gemini has continually expanded its use with moreand more of its customers.

A recent contract win by Gemini requires the company tothermal spray 4.3 miles(7 km) of subsea oil industrytubulars with aluminium.Ian Guthrie, Managing Director at Gemini, says: “Gemini’s

reputation is built on delivering quality, value and integrityto its customers, which is clearly demonstrated by our loyaland extensive client base. By utilising professional,efficient thermal spraying equipment, as supplied byMetallisation, we have grown our client base to embrace awide range of industries. Metallisation is one of the leading

manufacturers of thermall spray equipment and it is apleasure working with them.”

Gemini has a purpose built, fully automated,computerized thermal spray facility at its Montrose base,which was designed and installed by Metallisation. The pipemanipulation system is flexible and can cater for differentpipe sizes, enabling a full range of pipes to be sprayed

using just one machine. The equipment can be used tospray pipes varying from 4 in. to 48 in. (102 mm to 1.22m) in diameter and from 6.6 ft up to 50 ft (2 m to 15.24m) in length.

The automated process isoperated through thecontrol box, which allowsup to 20 preset programs,including pipe rotationalspeed and carriagetraverse rates, to ensurean even coating thickness.The pipes are loaded ontothe carriages of thethermal spray system and move through the facility, whilerotating, to enable the arc spray guns to coat every inch ofthe pipe. The automated process reduces coating times,increases material efficiency and eliminates operatorfatigue.

A video showing subsea pipes being thermal sprayed atGemini’s automated thermal spraying process facility isavailable for viewing on the Metallisation websitewww.metallisation.com/videos/library

In line with standard practice, the surface of the pipes isprepared by grit blasting to industry standard cleanlinessSA3, prior to thermal spraying to ensure effective coatingadhesion. Every pipe is checked for profile and cleanliness.Using two ARC528E systems, the external surfaces of thepipes are thermal sprayed with aluminium to a typicalthickness of 0.0098 in. (250 μm), although this can bevaried to suit the customer’s specification. Finally the pipesare sealed to the individual customer’s specification.

During the spraying operations, various quality checks areperformed and recorded. Sample plates are sprayed underidentical conditions to the pipes and tested to check they

meet the coating adhesion requirements.Many specifications require 1305.34 to1740.45 psi (9 -12 Mpa), with Geminicoatings exceeding 2610.68 psi (18 MPa),proving that the preparation and applicationof the coating is second to none. The coatingthickness of the pipes is routinely checked asthe spraying is performed and the coating isvisually inspected at random under 10xmagnification.

The Metallisation ARC528E system consistsof an ARC528E servo driven gun, a supply package and a450 amp switched voltage energizer with inbuilt closed-loop wire speed control unit. The aluminium wire isdispensed from production packs, which reduces downtimefor wire changes, and is also supplied by Metallisation.

Stuart Milton, Sales and Marketing Manager, MetallisationLtd, says: “We have been working with Gemini for manyyears and are very proud of the feedback we receive fromthem regarding our service, prompt response and workingrelationship. Metallisation is committed to excellentcustomer support through the delivery of effective surfaceprotection solutions and equipment. We are pleased to seethat this recent contract win for Gemini clearly demon-strates the flexibility, capability and reliability of ourthermal spray systems and equipment.”

Thermion Introduces HighDensity™ Twin Wire Arc Spray ProcessThermion Inc. of Poulsbo, WA USA (thermioninc.com) introduces a new Twin Wire

Arc Spray Process that produced coatings of less than 0.3% porosity for 420SS,and 0.04% porosity for the coating of Inconel 625 which is shown in the belowmacros. Move over Cold Spray and HVOF, Thermion’s HighDensity™ twin wire arcspray-produced coatings with porosity lower than 0.5%.

Northwest Laboratories of Seattle, Incorporated

Thermion’s new twin wire arc spray process utilizes the simplicity and economicsof standard twin wire arc spray principles. The above coatings were sprayed usingordinary compressed air as the atomizing gas in open air with spray distances nearsix inches, the coupons were rotating on a fixture and the spray gun was mounted.Process Concept:

In this concept, the high electric arc energy is used to ionize and expands gasinside a small vessel which exits at high velocity. This high velocity gas is usedto atomize the wires and propel them to the substrate.Spray Equipment:

The HighDensity™ twin wire arc spray system has the same appearance asThermion’s AVD spray systems which is a push style feeder with Thermion’s jetforce front end assembly; the HighDensity™ technology is not visible to theobserver it is contained within the electrical and mechanical designed features ofthe system. This system is designed to automatically adjust to system variablesfor the purpose of maintaining the arc gap at optimum consistency for perfectatomization.Possibilities:• A low cost process for chrome plating replacement, at porosity levels of 0.04%

for Inconel 625, applications requiring a few mils of coating is now possible.• With high density coatings the overall coating thickness can be reduced for

many applications as imperviousness can be obtained with less coating.• Overall coating thickness can be reduced as cleanup can be achieved with less

coating removal.• Final finished coatings look like solid metal.

Availability:The High Density Twin Wire Arc Spray System is available directly from Thermion

Inc. and provisions can be made for providing sprayed samples for your personalevaluation, or to test your wires, or coat a component for service evaluation.

Thermal Spray - Value Addition ForAutomotive Components in India

The introduction of LPG (Liberalization, Privatization andGlobalization) in 1991, changed the whole scenario ofIndian corporationss and their workings. Manufacturingfirms which earlier, were hunting for only customers,

started searching forquality improvements andnew process developmentsin their products. The entryof global players withadvanced technologiescreated a bottleneck com-

petition which subsequently created high pressure onmanufacturing firms to improve the quality of their

products. Automotive is one of the industries which hasgone through most vigorous developments under a concretecompetition scenario.The demands in automotive industries are taking a up

surge day by day, so all the manufacturers needed to offerhigh quality products with cost limitations. Since theautomotive parts are to be mass produced, it is necessarythat the stable supply of large quantity of materials,uniform quality, low cost/high performance are ensured.Some major problems which industry must cope with arefor reduction of fuel consumption, weight reduction ofcomponent parts and reduction of friction of sliding parts.Being critical kinetic components, automotive parts arealways under the risks of destructive factors like corrosion,wear, abrasion and erosion.

Copper Surface Coatings Formed by the Cold SprayProcess: Simulations Based on Empirical and

Phenomenological DataA. Trinchi, Y.S. Yang, A. Tulloh, S.H. Zahiri, and

M. JahediCopper surface coatings produced by the cold sprayprocess have been simulated by means of a two-dimensional computer simulation and compared withexperimental data in terms of their porosity. During coldspray, solid state powders containing micrometer-sizedparticles are accelerated to supersonic velocities andfired onto a substrate, whereupon they undergo plasticdeformation and subsequently adhere. Many factors maydetermine the resultant coating properties, among whichinclude the particle size distribution, velocity, stagna-tion temperature, and pressure. The approach takenherein differs from those traditionally employed for mod-eling particle deformations and the subsequentformation of a surface coating. Such approaches relyheavily on the distribution of kinetic energy, elasticity,and fluidity of particles impacting the surface.Consequently, they are computationally impractical tosimulate a bulk sample with statistical distributions ofparticle shape, size, and various experimentalconditions. Rather than modeling the physical processesinvolved in particle deformations, our approach relies oncorrelating empirical and phenomenological statisticalrelations of particle sizes and velocities obtained fromexperimental data to simulate coatings several hundredsof micrometers thick. In doing so, it enables the porosityof the coating to be related to both the temperature andparticle size of the cold spray powders.

Scott R. Goodspeed of Greenville died peacefully withfamily at his side on August 8, 2011 after a courageous

battle with cancer.From the GoodspeedFamily:

Formerly of GraftonMassachusetts, Scottmoved to Wells Maineafter marrying hiswife Cheri CoultonGoodspeed. They rantheir restaurant“Merriland Ridge” inWells for ten yearsbefore moving toGreenville, Maine;where they havesince revived the old

Moosehead Lake Indian Store into what is now known asKamp Kamp, with their brother Randal Coulton.

He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Cheri, daughterKelly, her husband Chas Allen, children Tabitha and Sam ofHardwick Mass, son Dale of North Grafton, Mass and hiswife Danielle and their children Cadence and Wesley,daughter Erica Rose of Ogunquit, Maine and Scott andCheri’s furry, loving, companion Lily. Many special familymembers and friends supported Scott during this battlewith what we called the “Little C” and he thanks you all foryour loving thoughts and prayers.Scott lived life to the fullest, full throttle most would say.

He was not here “for a long time but a good time” and any-one that had the privilege to know him could attest tothat! He took up skydiving at 60 years of age. He loved thethrill and speed that he also had from his restored Corvette.

Scott was passionate about his work and at times wasteased that his cell phone meant more to him than any-thing else. His career took him all the over the world andmost recently he worked for Farr Air Pollution Control outof Jonesboro Arkansas and truly had found his niche. Hiscontributions to the Thermal Spray community for over 38years will be missed. He worked with companies like Prattand Whitney, General Electric, Rolls Royce and made lastingrelationships and friendships that he cherished .He was acall fire fighter in Grafton Mass and retired as a lieutenantfor Ladder Company 1 after 25 years before moving toMaine. He was most proud of the fact that he was an EagleScout in Grafton Mass and was the youngest to ever attainthat honor in Troop 107 at Grafton, Massachusetts at thattime.

He was affiliated with many organizations in his line ofwork which included the International Thermal SprayAssociation(ITSA), the American Welding Society, the ASMThermal Spray Society and ASM International. Scott was anofficer with ITSA for twelve years and an active contributorwith the association for his entire thermal spray career.

In lieu of flowers please make donations in Scott’s Memoryto one of our local charities of your choice inGreenvilleMaine: CA DeanMemorialHospital; GreenvilleJunction Depot Friends; Moosehead Historical Society andMoosehead Marine Museum-Katahdin

Thank you all again for all your support, he went peace-fully and without pain with all of us with him. hugs to youall and goodnight from the castle...

“The kids and I would like to again thank you all for yoursupport and love, it is a wonderful thing that we have withall of you and it will never be duplicated!”Cheri, Kelly, Dale and Erica Rose oxooxoxoxox

A Memorial Cruise to honor Scott’s life was held on abeautiful evening on Moosehead Lake with almost 200people aboard the Historic Katahdin. It was a magicalmoment when everyone toasted Scott, looking at his castleon the hill and then a Bald Eagle flew out over the bow ofthe Katahdin.

You may send cards to The Goodspeed Family, 51Moosehead Isle Rd, PO Box 1262, Greenville, ME 04441

From Camfil Farr(August 8, 2011) “It is with great sadness that I inform

all of you that today we lost a great friend, colleague andmentor, Mr. Scott Goodspeed. I won’t go into what a greatcareer and history Scott had within the Thermal Sprayindustry because most of you know this history much bet-ter than we do at CF APC. But for the past three years weat CF APC were truly blessed to be associated with thisman. His technical knowledge of the industry, his built-innetwork of most of the great people within the industry,and his ability to teach this to all of us was unsurpassed,but his true gifts to us were his honesty, his sincerity, hiswork ethic and most importantly, his friendship.

Traveling with Scott to visit an existing client, aprospective client, or the many ITSA/TSS forums was alwaysa treat. As most of you know, there weren’t many people inthe industry that Scott didn’t know. However, he was nevercavalier about this, always humble and simply matter-of-fact. It made it fun to be able to walk into most ThermalSpray shops and watch the people gather to talk to Scott.Rarely was the discussion about Thermal Spray. Often, itwas to reminisce about great times had in the past. He wasloved by many.

As most of you know, he leaves a beautiful family andmany, many friends. Scott and Cheri, aka Dorothy, aka,Honey, were amazingly strong and so optimistic throughoutthis whole battle which began almost a year ago. Theirmain concern always seemed to be about others and notthemselves. They have taught us all how to handle this verydifficult situation with strength, optimism and love.

We at Camfil Farr APC raise a toast to Scott Goodspeed(aka Scott Goodspray) today and celebrate the time we hadwith him; because that’s the way he would have wantedit.”

Note to readers: There was such an incredible responsefrom colleagues and friends with stories and salutations forScott Goodspeed that we could not print them all.
