Abstract
Natural tourmaline as an efficient alternative to ceramic-type material for plasma spraying
Highlights
'89.:=: Expensive synthetic materials with top-quality properties are often used to prepare coatings deposited by plasma spraying
Tourmaline had never been processed by plasma spray before this work
Tourmaline is studied as a candidate material for possible replacement of high-melting-point synthetic silicates, since tourmaline is an inexpensive geomaterial with a low melting point
Summary
'89.:=: Expensive synthetic materials with top-quality properties are often used to prepare coatings deposited by plasma spraying. Tourmaline had never been processed by plasma spray before this work. Processing of materials that melt incongruently (in the case of tourmaline this is it mainly because of the OH group in its structure) is a challenge for the plasma spray technique with its typical rapid quenching.
