Custom plasma reactors can also be designed, where temperatures cool from 10,000K to 1,000K in less than 80ms to form dense nano-sized ceramic or metal particles
Plasma processing technologies are suitable for a broad array of metals and ceramics with applications in advanced materials science and manufacturing
