Abstract: A technique using a liquid stabilised plasma gun is described for the manufacturing of rotation-symmetrical free-standing shapes with dimensions not attained so far. The components are generated by spraying pure ceramic powder onto a rotating metal mandrel. Surface pretreatment and temperature control of the mandrel during the process are important factors. Essential properties of the free-standing shapes will be presented as well as examples of applications.
