A German research effort has produced an electrochemical method for depositing pure-tungsten coatings onto fusion reactor ...

Supersonic Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (SAPS) is a commonly used technique in thermal spraying. Compared with other techniques, SAPS has the advantages of being high speed with low oxidation of ...

When an engine fails or becomes very worn, it is usually pulled from the vehicle and scrapped. Ford wants to change that by utilizing a high-tech plasma process to remanufacture broken engines. The ...

BARRINGTON – TURBOCAM International has broadened its engineering and manufacturing solutions to offer plasma coating, a type of thermal spray coating. “There is a lot of pressure in the aerospace and ...

Using various types of plasma that confer different surface chemistries, including cleaning plasmas for targeted removal of chemical contaminants, 3-dimensional treatment is directed only at exposed ...

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

Most coatings have a functional purpose as well as a decorative one. Paint protects a car's body against the elements while adding razzle-dazzle to its appearance. Some coatings, though, are mainly ...
