Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasma spray coating is a special type of coating with many applications in industries, and is used as a protective coating. Generally, the main target of the plasma spray coating is to achieve hardness, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and wear resistance. In order to achieve the desired goal, different types of composites, polymers, and ceramics are used along with the metal. The temperature, materials, distance, composition, and similar parameters are adjusted to achieve the desired goal. Adhesion, durability, and performance are also important qualities of the coating. All of these coatings’ permanence is assessed and proven by different characterization techniques.
This Special Issue invites research papers on plasma spray coating. These papers should be highly innovative with proven industrial applications. This special issue will enlighten the research community with innovative papers and new ideas. Here we are expecting all types of plasma spray coating research papers.
