INVESTIGATION OF PROCESSES ON TREATMENT OF PLASMA COATINGS MADE OF MATERIALS BASED ON MULTIFUNCTIONAL OXIDE CERAMICS WITH LASER IRRADIATION IMPULSES by V. A. Okovity, F. I. Panteleenko, O. G. Devoino, A. F. Panteleenko, V. V. Okovity

“…Therefore, the total number of impulses should ensure melting and sealing of the coatings along the whole thickness that will fully contribute to obtain hardened nano-crystalline and amorphous structures.The work is based on complex metallography, X-ray diffraction and electron-microscopic investigations on modified structural elements of composite coatings being treated with highly concentrated energy sources. The following main processes of hardened plasma coating formations have been revealed in the paper: com paction of sprayed materials due to thermal and shock-wave impacts of laser irradiation impulses. …”
