Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017085052A1] The invention relates to a method for applying a metal coating or metal based coating on a surface of a substrate or a part of that surface, wherein the surface of the substrate is electrically conductive, wherein the surface of the substrate is provided with a temperature that is suitable for applying the coating, wherein metal droplets are generated from a surface of a metal melt, wherein an inert gas is present in the area of the metal melt and the droplets and the surface of the substrate, and wherein a high voltage of between 1 and 30 kV is applied between the metal melt and the surface of the substrate, whereby the metal droplets impinge on the surface of the substrate to form a coating. The invention also relates to an apparatus with which the method can be implemented.
