Understanding plasma spraying
TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of the actual knowledge in plasma spraying with an emphasis on the points where work is still in progress is presented, including: the plasma torches with the resulting plasma jets and their interactions with the surrounding environment, powder injection with the heat, momentum and mass transfers between particles and first plasma jets, the particles flattening and solidification, forming splats which then layer to form the coating.

Thermal Plasmas: Fundamentals and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of the plasma state and derive the fundamental concepts in Gaseous Electronics, including the basic atomic and molecular theory, and the physics of the plasmas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowledge concerning splat formation : An invited review
TL;DR: In this article, the impact and flattening of single particles on smooth or rough substrates with different tilting is summarized and different diagnostic methods, including imaging, are briefly described.

TL;DR: In this paper, an assessment of the present knowledge in the following topics: (1) plasma torch and performance of blown arc (dc or ac), transferred arc and radio frequency torches; (2) established industrial applications with special emphasis on cutting, welding, spraying, transferred arc reclamation, reheating and purification, heating metal melts, smelting reduction, chemical operations, and waste destruction; (3) recent developments in the knowledge of fundamental processes in plasma torches with power sources, cathodes (hot and cold), anodes (static and dynamic behavior), and torch
