NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE MELTING OF PARTICLES INJECTED IN A PLASMA JET

This work presents the numerical simulation of the melting process of a particle injected in a plasma jet. The plasma process is nowadays applied to produce thin coatings on metal mechanical components with the aim of improving the surface resistance to different phenomena such as corrosion, tempera...
