Abstract
Mathematical models have been constructed and software has been developed for computer modelling of the turbulent plasma jets formed during plasma spraying and behaviour of the spray particles in such jets. Detailed computer modelling of the processes of plasma spraying of particles of nickel and aluminium oxide using argon and nitrogen as the plasma gas, and corresponding experimental studies of these processes have been conducted. The ISSO-1 device has been used to measure velocities and paths of the spray particles. The computer modelling results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
Keywords: plasma spraying, plasma jet, spray particles, mathematical models, computer modelling, software
