The object of the research is thermal spray process for the formation of metal coating from bronze powder in plasma-fuel variant, using direct current (DC) electric arc plasma torch, on steel samples. The aim of the work was to investigate and develop the technology for plasma-fuel spraying of functional coatings (for wear-resistant and antimicrobial applications) on machine-building ...

An analysis of the energy efficiency characteristics was performed for laser erosion cleaning (LC) processes developed last period for the application in metalworking sector for the wide group of carbon steels, cast iron and non-ferrous metal alloys to remove surface oxidic layers. The consideration of some characteristics of the LC-processes (energy consumption, energy criterion ...
