The peculiarities of formation of a bead on narrow tip of screw flight in PTA surfacing were investigated. It is shown how a shape of deposited bead depends on its section and main technological parameters of surfacing, i.e. arc current, surfacing speed and PTA torch zenith displacement. The nomograms for selection of surfacing mode parameters were proposed. Equipment and consumables used for surfacing are also described. Repair of screws of extruders and automatic molding machines using PTA surfacing allows repairing these parts as well as 3–5 times increasing their service life in comparison with new nitrated screws. 11 Ref., 13 Figures.
Keywords: PTA surfacing, screws of extruders and automatic molding machines, narrow tip, bead formation, surfacing parameters, equipment and consumables
