Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have seen considerable advancement since the initial
testing and development of thermal spray coating. Thermal barrier coatings are currently …

An overview is presented of the development of residual stresses in thermal spray coatings
and their ef-fects on interfacial debonding. The main experimental techniques for …

Various material properties which influence residual stresses in plasma-sprayed deposits
are examined. A simple expression to evaluate the residual stress in a plasma-sprayed …

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) …

The residual stress profiles in Cu and Al coatings cold sprayed using kinetic metallization
have been studied using neutron diffraction. To interpret results and to describe them …

The cold-spray process was used to prepare nanostructured WC–Co coatings. The coating
microstructural characteristics and phase composition were analyzed via optical microscopy …

Functionally graded ZrO2/NiCoCrAlY coatings were produced by plasma spraying using pre-
mixed and spheroidized powders as the feedstock. The microstructure, density, elastic …

Mechanical properties, such as residual stress and Young's modulus, play a critical role in
the synthesis and performance of thermally sprayed coatings. Thus, it is important to …

Cavitation is a wear process that occurs in aqueous environments in which water vapor
bubbles on the metal surface of a component implode, leading to erosion. The phenomenon …

Residual stress is an important factor in thermally sprayed deposits which affects both
processing and performance. High stress magnitudes and/or concentrations can undermine …
