The paper briefly describes major thermal spray techniques used to spray functionally
graded coatings such as atmospheric plasma spraying, high velocity oxy-fuel spraying …

The emerging methods of coating deposition by suspension and solution thermal spraying
are described. The liquid suspensions of fine powders and liquid precursors are injected …

In this paper, we review the recent progress in nanofabrication by thermal plasmas, and
attempt to define some of the most important issues in the field. For synthesis of …

This article presents what is our present knowledge in plasma spraying of suspension, sol,
and solution in order to achieve finely or nano-structured coatings. First, it describes the …

From the pioneering works of McPherson in 1973 who identified nanometre-sized features
in thermal spray conventional alumina coatings (using sprayed particles in the tens of …

Thermal barrier coatings used to protect the blades of aircraft and gas turbine engines are
primarily ceramic coatings with unique microstructures result of the deposition method used …

Solution precursor plasma spray (SPPS) is a coating deposition process that uses
conventional plasma spray equipment, and solution precursors, rather than ceramic or metal …

Suspension and solution plasma spraying makes it possible to achieve coatings with fine
microstructural features and is becoming a common route in laboratories to elaborate …

The interest to manufacture onto large surfaces thick (ie, 10-20 μm, average thickness) finely
structured or nanostructured layers is increasingly growing since the past 10 years. This …

Thermal spraying using liquid feedstock has emerged as a promising technology for the
deposition of finely structured ceramic coatings. In order to provide a comparative …
