About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details NASA's requirement for a Master Jet 3 thermal spray gun for high-temperature instrumentation research. The equipment is specifically needed to apply a uniform molten ceramic coating (Alumina/Rokide) onto high-temperature sensors, addressing limitations in previous thermal spray technologies. The Master Jet 3 uses acetylene and oxygen to generate a flame for moltenizing ceramic material, requires 110V power, and interfaces with a thermal spray flexicord containing pure Alumina (Al3O2).
The SOW specifies the equipment must provide a more consistent molten spray that reduces sensor attachment failures, with key advantages including chemical inertness, thermal cycle resistance, electrical insulation at high temperatures, and stability up to 1100°C. The procurement is time-sensitive, with a performance period of 6-10 weeks from purchase, and is associated with NASA's high-temperature sensor research initiatives. The solicitation is under number 80NSSC25899709Q and managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center.

STATEMENT OF WORK
1. Objective/Requirements In support of high-temperature instrumentation research, NASA desires a flame spray gun for thermal spray applications with a uniform molten spray. High-temperature sensors require the use of thermally sprayed ceramics such as Alumina (Al3O2), also referred to as Rokide. Rokide provides a chemically inert coating, good thermal cycle resistance, good electrical insulation at high-temperature and is stable up to 1100°C.
Previous designs of thermal spray guns apply a thin layer of ceramic Rokide by moltenizing a solid rod and sprays the particles onto the high-temperature sensors.
Particles that are not fully moltenized can cause fractures in the sensors, such as high-temperature fiber optic-based sensors.
The modern Master Jet 3 Thermal Spray Gun (from Saint-Gobain) uses packed ceramic Rokide powder in a flexible rod (flexicord). The moltenization of the powdered ceramic in the flexicord requires less energy and provides a more uniform molten spray, reducing the failure in the attachment of high-temperature sensors to the structure under test.
Therefore, the purchase request is for a Master Jet 3 thermal spray gun and flexicord with pure Alumina.
