| Abstract: | Conclusions The practicability of the plasma deposition of samarium oxide has been established. During the spraying process, the material undergoes no structural changes. The resultant deposit porosity and the coefficient of powder utilization can be controlled by varying process parameters. To attain the maximum deposit density and the highest value of CPU, spraying should be performed from a distance of 90 mm at a current of 350 A, using an argon 14% nitrogen mixture and a powder 70–100 in particle size, the powder being introduced into the spraying nozzle.Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No. 6 (126), pp. 87–90, June, 1973. |
