Plasma torches are used in a variety of different applications including forming corrosion and wear resistant coatings, near net shape manufacture, and production of metal matrix composites. The dynamics of a low order nonlinear dynamic model of the process are analyzed to obtain insight into developing an appropriate control structure.

Plasma metal deposition (PMD®) is a promising and economical direct energy deposition technique for metal additive manufacturing based on plasma as an energy source. This process allows the use of powder, wire, or both combined as feedstock material to create near-net-shape large size components (i.e., >1 m) with high-deposition rates (i.e., 10 kg/h). Among the already PMD® processed materials stand out high-temperature resistance nickel-based alloys, diverse steels and stainless steels commonly used in the industry, titanium alloys for the aerospace field, and lightweight alloys. Furthermore, the use of powder as feedstock also allows to produce metal matrix composites reinforced with a wide range of materials. This chapter presents the characteristics of the PMD® technology, the welding parameters affecting additive manufacturing, examples of different fabricated materials, as well as the challenges and developments of the rising PMD® technology.

In this article, the author poses and responds to a provocative question that has practically ceased to be asked in the field of thermal spraying of carbide coatings: Is the current worldwide trend of using only unmelted metal particles to form coatings (HVOF, HVAF and cold spray methods) correct, and is the deposition of completely melted powders (plasma spraying methods) really outdated? The results of high-speed plasma deposition of new carbide powders allowed the author to prove that only coatings from molten particles can solve the main problem of such coatings, namely the problem of permeability along the grain boundaries. Through the use of modern Axial III plasma torches combined with optimized fine-grained powders, it has been possible to create Cr3C2-NiCr as well as WC-Co-Cr gas-tight layers.

The paper describes a cost effective and innovative combination of direct pressure sintering and subsequent thixoforming to produce MMC-components in (near-) net shape quality and, thus, to make these interesting materials attractive to mass production.First results of some combinations of aluminium matrix alloys with different ceramic reinforcements, consolidated by fast pressure sintering show the efficiency of this technology.The further processing of the consolidated billets has been performed by thixoforging. It can be shown, that the homogeneous microstructure from the direct pressure sintering stage with uniformly distributed ceramic reinforcements can be maintained over the semi-solid state and a full densification can be achieved. Form filling was complete and surface quality was comparable to forgings from conventional alloys.This new process flow shows advantages regarding the material yield in each of the processing steps. The (near-) net shape quality of thixoforged components allows a reduced effort for machining, which is of special importance for composite materials with a high content of wear resistant hard phases like SiC-particles.

New manufacturing methods for metal matrix composites (MMC) are developed. Thermally sprayed metal coatings on reinforcement-fabrics are used as preforms (prepregs) for an advanced thixoforging process. The semi-solid forming and simultaneous infiltration in short cycle times offer the possibility to realize complex near net-shape geometries and reduces fiber damage to a minimum.

Metal injection molding(MIM) is a high efficient and near net shape manufacturing technology, which is appropriate for parts of small size and complex shape. MIM provides a viable method to fabricate metal and metal matrix composites with discontinuous reinforcements, and micro metal injection molding (μMIM) is applied to manufacturing products at micro scale. The status of the research and development of MIM and μMIM are reviewed. Processes including mixing, injection molding and subsequent debinding and sintering are summarized. And technical characteristic, injection processing and application of μMIM are introduced. The disadvantages in mixing, injection molding and debinding processes limit MIM to fabricating components with small size, low precision and mechanical properties, and it is necessary to prevent the powder from reuniting and avoid any oxidation and impurity during μMIM process. Further investigations in these areas will give rise to being explored of full potential of MIM technology.
