Experimental Investigation of the Splashing Processes at Impact in Plasma Sprayed Coating Formation Available to Purchase

This paper is devoted to an experimental investigation of the different splashing phenomena (impact and flattening) when a plasma sprayed single particle impacts on a flat smooth substrate. This research is carried out using an imaging technique with a fast CCD camera aimed either parallel to the substrate for impact splashing or almost orthogonal to it for flattening splashing. The correlation of the image with the results of a set up allowing to determine particle in flight parameters just prior to their impact allows a better understanding of the splashing processes.
