Plasma torch WSP® with exit nozzle plasma temperature about 30 000 K, operating at 150 kW, enables treatment of such refractories with extreme melting points in amount of tens of kilograms per hour. A mixture of the W powder was prepared with 10 vol. % to 20 vol. % of ZrC or HfC. This feedstock having spheroidal character and micrometric size was fed into the plasma of the water stabilized plasma torch (WSP®) by means of inert gas carrying. Coatings thick up to 2 mm were sprayed on various substrates, namely graphite. Self-standing bodies were obtained by substrate removal. Pure tungsten and pure zirconium carbide with melting point 3520°C were sprayed at similar conditions. Various ways of coating improvement by shrouding and sample controlled cooling were tested.
