The Laboratory of Plasma Technologies (LPT) is a detached site of the Materials Engineering department of IPP. It was established in 2012 in Prague-Letňany as it moved to a newly refurbished building in an industrial park (VZLU) from the obsolete and insufficient premises in Prague-Chuchle. The Laboratory is fully equipped for fabrication of research sample materials as well as for custom plasma spraying and powder sintering by SPS.
The LPT also serves as a demonstration laboratory of plasma spraying with water stabilized plasma torch developed by the Thermal Plasma department of IPP in collaboration with the ProjectSoft HK company.
Plasma spraying
