Abstract

A gas cap for a thermal spray gun has a passage therethrough including an entrance channel, an exit channel, and an intermediate channel connecting between the entrance and exit channels. The entrance channel is cylindrical on an entrance axis, and the exit channel is convergingly conical on an exit axis oriented at 45.degree. to the entrance axis. The intermediate channel is symmetrical to the plane of the entrance and exit axes and has a near portion and a far portion. The near portion is semicylindrical about the entrance axis, and the far portion is semicylindrical about a far axis segment lying in the plane. That segment is offset from the entrance axis away from the exit end of the gas cap, and is oriented at 14.degree. to the entrance axis, the three axes intersecting at a common point.
