ABSTRACT: Among near net shape approaches, plasma spray deposition has its own advantages. It
can perform ultrahigh temperature heating, produce components with layered
compositions and structures, and fabricate thin-wall and large diameter objects. In this
paper, the microstructural characteristics and their influential factors were reviewed in the
light of the plasma spray forming process.
