Better performance of plasma thermal spray.
Advanced Materials & Processes, August, 2006 by Molz, Ronald J.
In the thermal-spray coating process, the coating material is melted in a heat source. The molten material is then propelled by process gases and sprayed onto the base material. The particles impact on the base material, also known as the substrate, solidify, and form a solid layer. This process includes complex multiphase flow with disperse particles, heat transfer, and conversion of thermal to kinetic energy.
