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 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 …

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 …

A novel, technically simple imaging system for individual, in-flight particle temperature and
velocity measurements for plasma and other thermal spray processes is described. A …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Powder injection parameters such as gas flow, injection angle, and injector position strongly
influence the particle beam and thus coating properties. The interaction of the injection …

Suspension plasma spraying (SPS) acquires a significant interest from the industry. The
deposited coatings using this technique were proved to have unique microstructural features …

Coatings produced by thermal spray processes are determined by particle parameters,
which can be investigated using various diagnostic systems. With the newly developed PSI …
