This review article marks the silver jubilee of plasma spraying. It is obvious that knowledge
about spraying has progressed more by experimental tricks than by scientific approach. This …

The use of plasma processing for spraying is reviewed, with emphasis on the material used,
their sprayed structure, and successfully applied coatings. It is noted that new and further …

Plasma spraying is often assumed to be a mature technology in which all the important
phenomena have been observed and described adequately. However, the intricate …

Thermal spraying was originated in 1910 in Zurich by MU Schoop with the aim of
manufacturing metal powders. Early experiments were conducted to atomize low-melting …

More than 25 years ago, plasma spraying was established as a commercial process, but
only recently have serious attempts been reported to establish a solid scientific base for this …

Plasma spraying, which grew out of oxyacetylene flame spray, not only provides coatings
that enhance the service life of critical components exposed to an aggressive atmosphere …

The concept of plasma is central to many scientific and engineering disciplines—from the
design of neon advertisement lights to fusion physics. Plasmas vary from low density, slight …

The introduction of commercial plasma-jet equipment has rapidly advanced the technology
of spray coating. This paper briefly reviews some of the experimental data collected during …

The change in the technology of plasma spraying from air to vacuum has led to substantial
improvements in spraying parameters and coating properties. A great variety of reactive and …

Over the past two decades, thermal spraying of metallic, ceramic and composite coatings
has emerged as a powerful tool for surface engineering, with many new applications and …
