Popis: The results of the development of a cascaded DC plasma torch with a sectioned inter-electrode insert (IEI), which implements supersonic regimes of thermal plasma flows, are presented. A feature of the developed plasma torch is the use of air as the main working gas, as well as the injection of the sprayed material into the flow of thermal plasma using a ring input unit with gas-dynamic focusing of the dispersed phase. The results of metallographic studies of WC/10Co/4Cr coatings sprayed using supersonic air plasma flows are also presented. It is shown that the use of supersonic spraying modes allows one to obtain high-density coatings with almost zero porosity (less than 0.4%).
