    NASA is seeking to acquire a Master Jet 3 thermal spray gun to enhance high-temperature instrumentation research through effective thermal spray applications. The gun is specifically designed to produce a uniform molten spray of Alumina (Al3O2), also known as Rokide, which is essential for coating high-temperature sensors. The previous methods of applying ceramics often resulted in particle inefficiencies, leading to sensor failures. The Master Jet 3, using a flexible rod and requiring less energy for moltenization, minimizes device failure rates by ensuring better particle uniformity. Key specifications include the use of acetylene and oxygen for flame generation, compatibility with a thermal spray flexicord, and a power requirement of 110V. The anticipated delivery timeline for the purchase is between 6 to 10 weeks. This procurement aligns with NASA's goal of improving the reliability and performance of high-temperature sensors critical for various scientific and engineering applications. Overall, this initiative underscores the commitment to advancing thermal spray technologies in aeronautics and space exploration.
