Thermal spray coating as any other industrial product must be tested for quality assurance
after deposition. Coating properties vary with the deposition technique and is strongly …

Thermal spraying techniques are coating processes in which melted or heated materials are
sprayed onto a surface. Thermal spray coatings have a wide range of applications, for …

Coatings are used for modifying the surface properties of critical components subjected to
mechanisms such as corrosion, oxidation, wear, or under an excessive heat load failure …

Wear behavior of three kinds of thermally sprayed coatings with similar hardness have been
investigated under steady-state and dynamic loading tests. The steady-state loading tests …

Thermal spraying is a dynamic process and a rapidly changing field which is used in a
variety of industries to solve a number of challenging problems including performance …

Abstract During Thermal Spraying material is partially or totally melted in between
milliseconds, accelerated to high velocities and propelled onto the surface to be coated …

The absence of standards and a common vocabulary are an obstacle when it comes to
evaluating the structure of thermal spray coatings. However, proper sectioning and mounting …

During the last decades, improved understanding of tribological behavior of different
material combinations led also to an intensified development of thermal spray applications …

Residual stresses generated in coatings during thermal spraying plays an important role on
the interfacial adhesion. Furthermore, their magnitude and distributions are affected by both …

Different methods and techniques are employed to protect the materials from degradation.
Within most industry segments, significant financial losses may be incurred due to …
