Speak of the devil. Too expensive for me but perhaps
somebody is offering the service.

Dear Mr. Lamar,
Our new computerized Detonation System is now available.
Enclosed are additional pages about detonation gun coatings.
We have upgraded the control package, to make it smaller,
and more automated; so, the pictures are now out of date.
The gun can be customized for any specific powder, or application.
Additional barrels can be added, to increase production, the barrels
can be made larger, or smaller, to accommodate the size of
production parts. The barrel can be made longer, or shorter, to
optimize the velocity for a specific application.
ADVANTAGES:
New Gas Supply System which completely excludes nitrogen as a
protective gas.
Excellent Coating Quality.
Lowest Consumption of Gases, Cooling Water, and Energy.
Unlimited Firing Rate.
Excellent Working Reliability and "Long Life" Mechanical
Design.
No moving Components, which allows for an increase in service
life and a decrease in the cost of operation and maintenance.
Record Low Substrate Temperature allows Spraying of a broad
range of Substrates.
No Electrodrive Motor.
Economical and reliable Operation in industrial production.
Specifications of a typical production Detonation Gun:
Inner Barrel Diameter 24 mm
Inlet Pressure of Fuel 20 - 30 psi
Inlet Pressure of Oxygen 30 - 40 psi
Consumption of Fuel Gas 30 SCFH
Consumption of Oxygen 55 SCFH
Firing Rate 2 - 100 Hz
Exit Flame Temperature 3,000°C
Substrate Temperature 150°C Max
Particle Impact Velocity 800 -1,200 m/sec
Coating Thickness per Shot 5 - 20 micron
Oxide Content 0.1%
Porosity 0.1 - 1 %
Adhesion 250 Mpa
Sound Level 140 dB [ouch!!!! :)]
Materials Sprayed Cermets, Metals, Alloys, & Ceramics
Gas Consumption:
The process is intermittent; so, it burns much less gas for given
powder mass. Typical flow rates in the d-gun (25 to 60 ft3 per
minute) are about 5-10 times less in the d-gun, than in an HVOF
system. Every minute of spraying, you save quite a lot in gas cost.
The gas pressures are much lower in the d-gun, than in an HVOF
system: 70 to 210 kPa, in an HVOF system, it is 700 - 1000 kPa.
Therefore, the d-gun can use a regular, low cost gas supply system,
with standard hoses. HVOF requires high pressure powder feeders and
hoses.
The Detonation System consists of:
