Real-time control offers the potential to reduce plasma spray variations that affect yield and coating quality. Important factors for designing such controllers are discussed including sensor issues, dominant nonlinearities, and cross-coupling interactions. The performance of several alternative strategies to achieve better coating thickness control are evaluated.
