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.

Numerical analysis of the plasma-induced self-shadowing effect of impinging particles and phase transformation in a novel long laminar plasma jet

TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-columnar YSZ coating by using an atmospheric plasma spray - physical vapor deposition (APS-PVD) method is investigated. And the mechanism of the self-shadowing effect from impinging particles that leads to the formation of a quasicolumnar feature at the boundary layer of the substrate is demonstrated by the three-dimensional numerical simulation and the experimental observation.
