In thermal spraying, many systems are in operation for a large period of time. They were designed and built following best practice then.
Newer systems include additional, partly expensive safety components.
Is there a cost saving potential by the elimination of safety devices? Or are there economical benefits if complete system safety is implemented?
This paper discusses some hazardous thermal spray processes, related methodes for their risk minimization (e.g. risk analysis/FMEA) and shows how intelligent solutions reduce hazards in an economical way.
