Thermal spray coatings are used extensively for the protection and life extension of
engineering components exposed to harsh wear and/or corrosion during service in …

This paper presents a summary of the research on the influence of plasma and cold spray
deposition of bio-grade Ti powder on the high-cycle fatigue properties of Ti6Al4V substrates …

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems have presented an ongoing design issue in bids to
improve the lifespan of coatings. A TBC can support an extended lifespan by repairing …

This paper introduces novel possibilities of using recently developed high-power lasers for
high-speed surface periodic structuring/patterning of the ceramic substrates for the …

Thermal spray deposited WC-CoCr coatings are extensively used for surface protection of
wear prone components in a variety of applications. Although the primary purpose of the …

Fatigue crack growth in self-standing plasma-sprayed tungsten and molybdenum beams
with artificially introduced notches subjected to pure bending was studied. Fatigue crack …

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 …

Titanium powder was deposited onto steel specimens using four thermal spray
technologies: plasma spray, low-pressure cold spray, portable cold spray, and warm spray …

The aim of this study is to improve the fatigue limit of thermally sprayed EN 1.0032 steel
substrates by combining turning, diamond smoothing, and temperature regulation during …

This paper compares the results of two approaches of instrumented indentation for
characterization of mechanical properties of HVOF coatings. Three types of HVOF sprayed …
