Recently, it is being applied to rapid mould manufacturing to reduce develop ment time and manufacturing cost. In this process, inputted powders are heated a nd accelerated by plasma jet, and impinge on master pattern or prototype to form ing a thick coating. Mould will be fabricated after backed-up with consolidated material and other post-treatments. Amongst numerous factors that affect the l ife and properties of mould made by this novel method, quality of coating is the most important one. However, the complex nature of the spray process results in a large number of processing parameters that must be controlled in order to obt ain optimum coatings.
