Advanced Nanoscale Coatings with Plasma Spray

Abstract

The Oregon Graduate Institute was originally charged with assessing the potential of using plasma spraying techniques to produce thermal spray coatings consisting of tungsten carbide (WC) particles in a cobalt (Co) matrix (WC-Co). The WC particles of interest in this study were those with size on the nanometer scale embedded in a Co matrix. A secondary research charter developed as this program proceeded was the assessment of the feasibility of using cored wire filled with WE-Co powder as a feed-stock for both plasma spray and twin-wire-arc spray (TWAS) coating applications.
