    The document summarizes advancements in plasma transferred arc (PTA) welding technology from the 1960s to present. Early PTA torches from the 1960s-1980s were bulkier and less efficient than modern torches, which are more compact, easier to maintain, and can deposit material at higher rates. Early PTA systems from the 1960s-1980s required more operator input and corrections due to use of relay-based controls and DC motors. Modern systems from the 1980s-present use inverter power supplies, PLC and CNC controls, and AC servo motors to achieve precise, consistent, and reproducible coatings across complex shapes for high-volume production. Hand-held and portable PTA systems have
