This paper deals with the latest developments of thermal spraying equipment and processes as well as their application in China in recent years. In addition, five kinds of powders were used for plasma spraying to renovate worn parts of heavyduty vehicles and a simple and convenient optimizing method for process parameters of plasma spraying was studied. As a result, the service lives of renovated parts by plasma spraying were increased 2.77 to 8.33 times and an existence of a practical power input Wo was confirmed.展开更多
