TLDR
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.
Abstract
This article intends to summarize our actual knowledge in plasma spraying with an emphasis on the points where work is still in progress. It presents successively: the plasma torches with the resulting plasma jets and their interactions with the surrounding environment; the powder injection with the heat, momentum and mass transfers between particles and first plasma jets and then plasma plume; the particles flattening and solidification, forming splats which then layer to form the coating; the latest developments related to the production of plasma sprayed finely structured coatings.

Comparison between metallic and ceramic splats: Influence of viscosity and kinetic energy on the particle flattening

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact, flattening and solidification of millimetre and micrometre-sized ceramic (alumina) and metallic (Ni5Al) drops or droplets onto a smooth 304L stainless steel (Ra = 0.06μm) substrate have been studied to understand the impact phenomena.

Characterisation of plasma-sprayed SrFe12O19 coatings for electromagnetic wave absorption

TL;DR: SrFe 12 O 19 coatings, intended as electromagnetic wave absorbers, were produced by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using two different kinds of feedstock powders: spray-dried agglomerates of micrometric SrFe 12O 19 particles (type-A) or spray-Dried agglerates of raw materials (SrCO 3, Fe 2 O 3 ), reactively sintered at 1100 Ã 0 Ã Ã c ( type-B) as mentioned in this paper.
