Flame spraying
Plasma process
With this process, we melt material in powder form by heating it in ionised gas using an electric arc. The high heat and conductivity of this 'plasma flame' (16,000°C) provide the optimal conditions for strength, adhesion, uniformity and purity of the sprayed layer. The high particle velocity also contributes to this. Because of the high temperatures there are hardly any restrictions to the materials that can be sprayed. Examples include ceramics such as chromium and aluminium oxides.
