You are not the only one if, while having some familiarity with the term “plasma spray coating,” you lack a deeper understanding of the process. After all, you must establish a secure and strictly controlled working environment to produce a plasma thermal spray jet. Because a functional gas combination is passed via an electrical arc in this atmosphere, it is difficult to replicate and achieve. For its use in industry, the discharge process resulting from an electrical arc requires a great deal of specialist labor. In addition, the discharge is created in the space left between the cathode and the anode. Consequently, there is a sudden release of energy, which causes the gas combination to be heated to a plasma with a high temperature of 14,000 K.
