The aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility of using a laser ultrasonic
technique for the estimation of the adhesion of ceramic coatings, deposited onto metallic …

The aim of the present study is to compare a laser ultrasonic technique with a conventional
indentation test for the determination of intrinsic properties and the adhesion of alumina …

The present study deals with information that could be obtained by real-time contactless
monitoring of the normal displacement, due to the propagation of the longitudinal waves …

Young's modulus is not only one of the important mechanical properties of thermally sprayed
coatings but also a sensitive indicator of the coating's microstructural defects. The ceramic …

The aim of the present study is to investigate a conventional laser-ultrasonics technique for
the determination of intrinsic properties of oxide coatings and their adhesion strength on a …

The aim of the present study is to investigate a laser-ultrasonic method to determine the
oxide-coating's adhesion strength on a metallic substrate. In order to demonstrate this …

Nondestructive methods previously developed for the detection of flaws, such as
delaminations, or for the evaluation of the elastic properties of materials, could be judiciously …

Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings have been widely applied in modifying surface properties
of metal components. They are useful to prevent various types of wear, corrosion, erosion …

The aim of this work was to study the modifications induced by 10 ns single or cumulative
pulses of a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser emitting in the near-infrared (= 1064 nm) on a pure …

Laser treatment was used to prepare substrate surfaces for thermal spray deposition. The
interaction between aluminium and titanium alloys and short Nd: YAG laser pulses was …
