The deposition efficiency (DE) of a particular powder for a particular thermal spray process is
very important factor when coating economics is being considered. There are many coating …

Plasma spraying is a complicated process involving many partly interdependent parameters,
which are in industrial spray environments difficult to optimise without laborious and time …

The plasma spraying process is controlled by various parameters that have an influence on
powder particle velocities, temperatures and trajectories just before impact to the substrate …

The key phenomena controlling the properties of sprayed coatings are the heat and
momentum transfer between the plasma jet and the injected particles. Modern on-line …

In recent years, the interest in on-line diagnostic methods for thermal spraying has been
increasing. The particle in-flight properties can be determined using such methods. One of …

This paper compares two approaches for monitoring in-flight particle properties during
thermal spraying, one based on an industrial CCD camera, the other on a commercial …

Plasma spraying has become one of the most important thermal-spray technologies due to
low operating costs, high deposition rates, and a high efficiency. It is especially suitable for …

Thermal spray technology became established in various parts of industry (eg aircraft
industry, medical industry etc.). Some of the applications are highly sensitive, therefore the …

On-line monitoring of two thermal spray processes by means of an imaging diagnostic
technique capable of measuring several spray particle properties, such as individual and …

Increasing the deposition efficiency (DE) and consequently reducing the manufacturing
costs has been always one of the central goals in thermal spraying. Hence, the effect of …
