Thermal Plasmas: Influence of Current Modulationand gas usage on wire arc spray processperformance
Thermal plasma research has been around for over a century, thus one might argue that processes involving these plasmas are well understood and hardly any open questions remain. Yet due to the widespread industrial use o...
Hot corrosion behavior of multi-layer suspensionplasma sprayed Gd2Zr2O7/YSZ thermal barriercoatings
This study investigates the corrosion resistance of double layer Gd2Zr2O7 /YSZ, triple layer dense Gd2Zr2O7 / Gd2Zr2O7/YSZ and a reference single layer YSZ coating with a similar overall top coat thickness of 300-320 μm....
Numerical modelling of a Low Pressure PlasmaSpraying Torch used for Plasma Spray PhysicalVapor Deposition
Plasma Spray Physical Vapor Deposition (PS-PVD) is a plasma spray process where the feedstock material in form of powder is injected in the plasma torch and is partially or completely evaporated. The vapor phase of the c...
