Effect of the plasma-forming gas consumption on processes of plasma spray coating and metal powder production

Abstract

The influence of the plasma-forming gas consumption on the plasma flow velocity and its turbulence intensity is analyzed. Full-scale experiment conducted to confirm the results of the mathematical experiment. Comparative analysis of the results of practical and theoretical experiments showed satisfactory convergence. As a result of the study, developers and consumers of equipment are offered recommendations for improving the technology. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
