Download or read book Plasma Spraying: Theory And Applications written by R Suryanarayanan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993-06-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent advances in plasma spraying are discussed in this book which divides into two sections — theory and application. The book presents sophisticated experimental techniques, diagnostics, theoretical models and computer simulations which not only improve the understanding and uses of the spraying process but also help to increase the reliability factor of the manufacturing components. Applications that are metallurgical, aeronautical, automobile, chemical, etc. are also shown. More importantly, applications that include silicon for solar cells, magnets and superconductors are also discussed for the first time. Advanced graduate students in materials science and engineering, research scientists, engineers and industries involved in plasma spray applications will benefit from this book.
