Abstract

A coating lance includes a body having first and second segments interconnected in a joint region. The first segment, which can be made from metal, includes an outer diameter reducing from a first outer diameter in a rearward portion through a transition portion to a second outer diameter in a main segment portion. The second body segment, which can be made from carbon fiber, is substantially uniform in outer diameter throughout. A coating tube extends within an interior of the body and a nozzle end part is attached to the coating tube. The lance can also include an insert received in a discharge end of the body, a discharge end clamp secured to the insert, and a charge end clamp secured to a charging end of the body. The clamps receive the coating tube and apply a clamping force to secure the coating tube in position.
