Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

There is currently a great interest to obtain microparticles with nanocoatings for manufacturing of abrasive, wear resistant, corrosion resistant, high strength materials for future use in various technological applications, including generation of dispersed catalyst for savings of expensive materials [1]–[4].In this regard, we carried out preliminary experiments to obtain disperse‐composite materials (DCM) using thermal spraying of dust component levitating in bulk plasma. This method does not require expensive specialized equipment and allows one to generate small particles of various materials (the average size in the range of 40–120 microns) with coatings of thickness of 10–100 nm [5].
