The success story of the A320 family has gained a new chapter
now that the A320neo “new engine option” has joined the

of this global family spends as little time as possible on

Plasma spraying
// A plasma plume with a very high temperature is created by the
gas (hydrogen) entering the burner chamber and a powerful DC
arc (between the electrode and the anode-nozzle) that strips the
gas molecules of their electrons. As the plasma ions recombine
back to the gaseous state, a tremendous level of energy is
released. The powder materials are injected into this hot gas. The
particles melted in the plasma are sprayed at high speed onto the
component surfaces to be coated and claw mechanically (with
local d
­ iffusion) on the surface when shrinking during cooling down.
The combination of high temperature and extremely high ­particle
speeds results in a highly resilient coating. This makes the process
ideal for demanding applications in the repair of engine parts. //
