The primary focus of this review concerns the test methods used to evaluate thermal spray
coatings. Techniques to measure coating intrinsic properties such as (i) porosity and (ii) …

Real-time evaluation of materials' mechanical response is crucial to further improve the
performance of surfaces and coatings because the widely used post-processing evaluation …

Tungsten is currently the main candidate plasma-facing material for future fusion reactors.
For large part of the inner surface, the first wall, it is foreseen to be joined to steel-based …

Complex concentrated alloys (CCAs) are structural and functional materials of the future with
excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Due to the equiatomic …

Thermally-sprayed ceramic coatings are commonly used in applications where high wear
and corrosion resistance are essential. However, their inherently low toughness and …

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy is applied to analyze the elastic anisotropy of thick
copper, aluminum, titanium, and nickel coatings prepared by cold spraying and to determine …

Stainless steel coatings have been applied on the surface of ZE41 magnesium alloys using
High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) as deposition technique to improve their surface …

In this research work, real-time three-point bending coupled with the scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) technique were used to study the crack formation and growth of air …

This paper is intended to show the benefits of instrumented indentation for advanced testing
of highly heterogeneous materials such as thermal spray coatings. These materials possess …

Due to droplet‐based assembly, microstructure anisotropy is expected in atmospheric
