Plasmatron for Coatings by V. A. Okovity, F. I. Panteleenko, V. V. Okovity, V. M. Astashinsky

“…Air around a plasma jet is displaced, additional compression of the plasma occurs and due to this oxygen content is decreased in a coating and efficiency of material deposition is increased. An additional use of a tungsten insert in an electronic node makes it possible to create a pair of tungsten – tungsten in an electrode assembly and the life of the electrode assembly will be increased due to high erosion resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and sufficient strength in 2–2.5 times while increasing spray performance through toughening regimes. …”
