Properties of coatings and applications of low pressure plasma spray

Abstract

Based on the results obtained in our analyses, recent understandings of low pressure plasma spraying are reviewed on the following subjects; (1) computational and experimental analyses of the flow field of the plasma jet, (2) pretreatment by transferred plasma arc, (3) structures and properties of deposits, (4) minimizing of residual stresses and (5) some possible applications. © 1990 IUPAC
