Abstract
A model developed on the basis of kinetic principles of mass transfer allows performing computer simulation of the oxidation of powder materials during the thermal spray process. Such simulation enables one to determine the oxidation degree of the powder. The calculation is based on determining quasi-stationary oxygen diffusion flow on a flying particle. Calculations performed for various spray powders and various flammable gases demonstrate a significant decrease of the oxidation degree with the growth of the particle diameter and density of a spray powder. The calculation results were confirmed by experiments.
