Abstract:
We offer a physical model of the process nanostructure formation during plasma spraying hydroxyapatite coatings and described the thermodynamics of heating particle in the plasma torch. We analyzed thermal processes on the base and the formation of thermal fields in the system particle-base by plasma spraying. Possibly that the formation of amorphous coatings, consisting of submicron particles, happened because shear through by contact with the material and base and nanosized crystals appear as a result of very fast cooling (quenching) of the submicron structures.
Keywords:gasdynamic plasma, plasma spraying, formation of coatings, hydroxyapatite, nanostructures, thermodynamic model, temperature field.
