Abstract

A process for coating or welding easily oxidized materials is carried out by applying weld metal powder by a plasma powder welding process with an alternating current or with a direct current and a superimposed alternating current as welding current to generate a plasma arc for the powder welding process. For this purpose, one base of the plasma arc is produced in a spherical recess (34) of an electrode (32).
