Over the past two decades, thermal spraying of metallic, ceramic and composite coatings
has emerged as a powerful tool for surface engineering, with many new applications and …

Plasma spray deposition is one of the most important technologies available for producing
the high–performance surfaces required by modern industry. Over the past 25 years, there …

Plasma spraying, which grew out of oxyacetylene flame spray, not only provides coatings
that enhance the service life of critical components exposed to an aggressive atmosphere …

This extensively updated and revised version builds on the success of the first edition
featuring new discoveries in powder technology, spraying techniques, new coatings …

Coatings have historically been developed to provide protection against corrosion and
erosion that is to protect the material from chemical and physical interaction with its …

This review article marks the silver jubilee of plasma spraying. It is obvious that knowledge
about spraying has progressed more by experimental tricks than by scientific approach. This …

The interest to manufacture on large surfaces thick (ie, 10 to 20 μm, average thickness)
finely structured or nano-structured layers is increasingly growing since about 10 years. This …

Arc plasma sprayed thin films and coatings exhibit excellent mechanical properties for anti-
corrosion, anti-wear, anti-radiation, thermal isolation, and heat conduction applications …

The concept of plasma is central to many scientific and engineering disciplines—from the
design of neon advertisement lights to fusion physics. Plasmas vary from low density, slight …

The ceramic top coat has a major influence on the performance of the thermal barrier
coating systems (TBCs). Yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the top coat material …
