Plasma spraying as an advanced tool in surface engineering

H.-D. Steffens, M. Mack
1990 Pure and Applied Chemistry  
Plasma Spray Technology may produce a variety of layers, free standing shapes and material composites made of metals, ceramics and cermets. Current developments show a refinement of the traditional applicationsprotective layers against wear, erosion, corrosion and high temperature loadas well as surface engineering in the fields of catalytic and electronic materials. Significant developments are going on for plasma-sprayed fibrereinforced materials and fracture-toughened ceramics. Materials
