Abstract

The techniques of plasma spraying are suitable for deposition of metals, ceramics or composites. Atmospheric plasma spraying of metals is accompanied by their oxidation. The oxidation of nickel during its spraying gives rise to NiO. During the flight of molten nickel particles in the plasma plume, the first stage of the oxidation reaction takes place. To determine the amount of NiO grown during this stage, oxidation can be stopped abruptly by trapping and quenching the particles in liquid nitrogen. If, on the other hand, the flying molten particles are allowed to hit a solid substrate, a plasma deposit or coating is built up. The period starting at the moment of the particle impact and solidification corresponds to the second oxidation stage. This is finished by cooling down the system substrate — coating.
