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) …

An overview of analytical and numerical methods for prediction of residual stresses in
thermal spray coatings is presented. The various sources and mechanisms underlying …

Residual stresses are considered to be the driving forces for the in-service failure of TBCs.
The residual stress distribution through an APS TBC has been experimentally measured by …

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 …

The vein–membrane structure inspired by insect wings is applied to the artificial structural
design of materials, with the aim of enhancing the intrinsic low strain tolerance and bonding …

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

This paper demonstrates how microstructure-based finite element (FE) modelling can be
used to interpret and predict the thermo-mechanical behaviour of thermal spray coatings …

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 order to improve the knowledge on the use and significance of instrumented indentation
and scratch testing on thermally-sprayed materials, a wide range of tests was performed on …

The stress–strain behaviour of cold-sprayed Ta coatings, deposited onto Al and steel
substrates, was studied by depth-sensing spherical and sharp (Berkovich) indentation …
