Using laser anemometry, laser fluxmetry, and statistical two-color pyrometry, the velocity,
number flux, and surface temperature distributions of alumina and zirconia particles in dc …

In plasma spraying, the properties of the plasma-forming gas largely control the
characteristics of the plasma jet and the momentum, heat, and mass transfers to the particles …

The plasma spray process with solid feedstock, mainly ceramics powders, studied since the
sixties is now a mature technology. The plasma jet and particle in-flight characterizations are …

Particle temperature, velocity, and size measurements in DC arc plasma thermal sprays are
reported in this article. Experiments were performed using a conventional DC are argon …

The behavior of alumina or stabilized zirconia particles in flight in Ar− H 2 dc plasma jets (up
to 40 kW) has been studied. Measurement of the temperature distributions in the plasma jets …

The plasma jets produced by dc spray torches exhibit unusual properties: high flow
velocities (up to 2500 m· s− 1), high temperatures (up to 14000 K), steep temperature and …

A comprehensive experimental examination of the interaction between a subsonic thermal
plasma jet and injected alumine, particles is presented. Measurements of plasma velocity …

Controlling particle state is important to not only achieve the required microstructure and
properties in coatings but also to clearly isolate and understand the role of other clusters of …

The kinetic spray coating process involves impingement of a substrate by particles of various
material types at high velocities. In the process, particles are injected into a supersonic gas …

Particle in-flight characteristics in atmospheric plasma spraying process are determined by
impulse and heat energy transferred between the plasma jet and injected powder particles …
