Thermally sprayed hardmetal coatings have a typical thickness within the range 100–500
μm. Thus, thermal spray enables the functionality of hardmetals to be realized on the surface …

A growing understanding of wear behavior of various thermally sprayed ceramic–metallic
matrix coatings has occurred over recent years. This has resulted from the continuous …

In this paper, the Taguchi method was employed to optimize the spray parameters (spray
distance, oxygen flow and kerosene flow) to achieve the highest hardness and, in turn, the …

When a complex geometry is rotated in front of the thermal spray gun, the following
kinematic parameters vary in a coupled fashion dictated by the geometry: Stand-off distance …

Natural materials are gaining interest as coating feedstock because their “quality to cost”
ratio is better and they are more environmentally friendly than most of the synthetic ceramics …

The state of particle impact (velocity and temperature) significantly affects the coating's
microstructural, mechanical properties and wear performance. The spray stand-off distance …

A complex geometry is always a challenge for the thermal spray community, because the
spray angle affects the droplet's impact on the substrate resulting in changes in coating …

Recently, cermet coatings with Fe-based metal matrix have emerged as a less hazardous
and more environmentally friendly alternative to WC–Co-based ones, which have known …

For the engines used in small turboprop aircrafts, the introduction of abradable coatings
represents a feasible way to reach higher levels of overall engine efficiency, specifically by …

Optimized processing windows for spraying high-quality metal carbide-based coatings are
developed using particle diagnostic technology. The cermet coatings were produced via the …
