Near-Net Shape Forming of Tungsten Material by Induction Plasma Deposition

Induction plasma deposition has been applied in spray coating and near-net shape forming since long. In this paper, we present a few typical results in applying induction plasma spraying technique to fabricate the near-net shape tungsten components. With various shape, very thick, and large surface of W parts were fabricated, the microstructure in the bulk is uniform, and the density is greater than 98% theoretical density.
