Physical-chemical and mechanical properties of thick plasma coatings

Plasma spraying makes it possible to produce rapidly quenched materials with a thickness of up to several mm. This is possible because of the small thickness of the particles and separate solidification of these particles during formation of the coating. The shape and dimensions of the component on which the rapidly quenched coatings are produced, can greatly differ. One of the current technological applications of this technology is the formation of amorphous coatings with magnetically soft properties. The current work is concerned with the structure and chemical properties of these coatings
