Engineers develop new plasma spray technique for tungsten–copper protective coatings

Engineers have developed a new high-performance tungsten–copper metallic coating in one step using plasma spray, for future high heat flux (HHF) plasma facing components (PFC), specifically in the divertor target plate. The work is published in the journal Surface and Coatings Technology.
