Plasma transferred wire arc (PTWA) thermal spraying is a thermal spraying process that deposits a coating on the internal surface of a cylindrical surface, or external surface of any geometry. It is predominantly known for its use in coating the cylinder bores of an internal combustion engine , enabling the construction of aluminium engine ...
The "feedstock" (coating precursor) is heated by electrical (plasma or arc) or chemical means (combustion flame). Thermal spraying can provide thick coatings (approx. thickness range is 20 microns to several mm, depending on the process and feedstock), over a large area at high deposition rate as compared to other coating processes such as ...
Plasma activation (or plasma functionalization) is a method of surface modification employing plasma processing, which improves surface adhesion properties of many materials including metals, glass, ceramics, a broad range of polymers and textiles and even natural materials such as wood and seeds. Plasma functionalization also refers to the ...
In materials engineering, suspension plasma spray (SPS) is a form of plasma spraying where the ceramic feedstock is dispersed in a liquid suspension before being injected into the plasma jet. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
One of the remarkable features of plasma electrolyte coatings is the presence of micro pores and cracks on the coating surface. [2] Plasma electrolytic oxide coatings are generally recognized for high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, the coating properties are highly dependent on the substrate used, as well as on ...
CSL Plasma is a subsidiary of its sister company CSL Behring, itself a subsidiary of CSL Limited, a biotechnology company based in Melbourne, Australia. [2] [ P 2] It is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, [1] and operates a total of 320 collection centers in the United States, [P 3] and a further 19 more in other nations including China, Hungary, and Germany as of 2023.
Plasma cleaning is the removal of impurities and contaminants from surfaces through the use of an energetic plasma or dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma created from gaseous species. Gases such as argon and oxygen , as well as mixtures such as air and hydrogen/nitrogen are used.
Plasma nitriding can thus be performed in a broad temperature range, from 260 °C to more than 600 °C. [4] For instance, at moderate temperatures (like 420 °C), stainless steels can be nitrided without the formation of chromium nitride precipitates and hence maintaining their corrosion resistance properties.
