Plasma Processing of Materials
Abstract
This report contains an assessment of recent developments in processing materials through the use of plasma technology. Advances in this field in foreign countries are discussed and the potentials for this type of processing relative to selected materials from the standpoints of cost- effectiveness and technical viability made. It addresses thermal plasma melting and remelting technology, extracting and refining technology, plasma deposition, thermal plasma synthesis and consolidation and processing using low-pressure nonequilibrium plasmas. Conclusions and recommendations are made for potential research and development projects in each of the technologies studied. Originator-supplied keywords include: Plasma Deposition, Materials Processing, Melting & Remelting Technology, Thermal Plasma Synthesis & Consolidation, Plasma Sintering, Low Pressure, Nonequilibrium Plasmas, Plasma Extractive Metallurgy, Melting & Refining of Superalloys, Plasma Coatings.
