Principle of Plasma Spraying
The principle is to generate a plasma flame flow through a plasma spray gun (also called a plasma arc generator). The tungsten electrode (cathode) and nozzle (anode) of the spray gun are respectively connected to the negative and positive electrodes of the power supply (the workpiece is not charged), and the arc is ignited by a high-frequency spark, so that the working gas (Ar or N2) supplied to the spray gun is ionized under the action of the arc. plasma. Under the combined action of mechanical compression effect, self-magnetic compression effect and thermal compression effect, the arc is compressed to form a non-transferred plasma arc. The powder-feeding stream transports the powder spraying material into the plasma arc, and is quickly heated to a molten or semi-molten state, hits the surface of the pretreated substrate at high speed with the plasma stream, and forms a firm spray coating on the surface of the substrate. In this way, the sprayed surface of the parts can obtain various special physical and chemical properties such as different hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, insulation, heat insulation, and lubrication to meet the requirements of different working conditions of the parts.
