It is shown that mechanical characteristics of the coatings depend on their technological conditions of their deposition. We propose a procedure of optimization of the technological process and control over this process according to the criteria of strength and specific consumption of materials by analyzing an example of plasma spraying of erosion-resistant coatings. The erosion resistance exhibits the most stable correlation with the cohesive strength of the coatings. The regression equations are used to determine the maximum levels of cohesive strength of the coatings and erosion resistance for the optimal combinations of technological parameters of.
