Thermal spraying: Applications, Plasma spraying & High velocity oxygen fuel spraying (HVOF)

Thermal spraying techniques are coating processes in which melted (or heated) materials are sprayed onto a surface. The "feedstock" (coating precursor) is heated by electrical (plasma or arc) or chemical means (combustion flame).
