By its nature, plasma spraying is a rapid solidification process in which finely powdered material injected into jet almost instantly melted and propelled with high velocity, created by strong magnetohydrodynamic force against suitable surface [...]

     In this study, hydroxyapatite was coated on titanium substrates by plasma spraying process. A well-known porous and lamellar microstructure was found in the lateral a...

Introduction The possibility of application of electric probes for diagnostics of thermal plasma jets is limited, especially due to the interaction of the probe with plasma. Nevertheless, some important information can be obtained. Electric probes were used for measurement of plasma potential in arc plasma [Chapman and Jones, 1978; Hrabovský and Konrad, 1991; Popov and Gateval, 2001], and for d...

Metallic glass has excellent functions such as high strength and high corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is one of the most attractive materials, and various developmental research works have been conducted by many researchers. However, the metallic glass material is expensive to use, and a composite material is preferred for the industrial application. Thermal spraying method is one of potent...
