Facilities can be built to control both the toxicity and oxidation problems associated with the plasma spraying of beryllium, beryllium oxide, and various carbides and a nitride. With high quality powders, deposits can be obtained that are at least 90% dense, and which are strongly adherent and have high impact resistance. Properties and spraying characteristics are given for the sprayed materials. Possible uses are as coatings on rocket nozzles, jetavators, and reentry nose cones of ballistic missile and aerospace gliders. Plasma spraying also provides a means of fabricating structure of single or composite materials that would be nearly impossible to fabricate by other means. (auth)
