This paper reviews the findings of recent research on the formation of solid splats by the
impact of thermal spray particles on solid substrates. It discusses methods of describing the …

Thermal spraying is a well‐established surface modification technology which has been
widely used in industrial applications. As the coating properties were mainly determined by …

Three different modes of cold-spray impact were compared; aluminium particles onto a
piezoelectric ceramic (PZT), aluminium particles onto copper, and deep penetration of …

Many biomedical implant coating systems consist of micro-deposited calcium phosphate
droplets thermally sprayed onto a commercially pure Ti (CP Ti) substrate. In this study, the …

The plasma spray process with solid feedstock, mainly ceramics powders, studied since the
sixties is now a mature technology. The plasma jet and particle in-flight characterizations are …

The effect of bond coat/thermal barrier coating (BC/TBC) interface topography on the lifetime
of air-plasma sprayed (APS) TBCs was comprehensively investigated in the present work. A …

The advent of user-friendly in-flight process diagnostic tools has significantly improved our
understanding of thermal spray processes. This paper examines the critical attributes of …

This work presents a plasma torch able to operate at supersonic regime with axial injection
of feedstock. In contrast to commonly used linear scheme, the principal axis of the plasma …

This study aims to minimize the mechanical, chemical and thermal damages on the blades
of a compressor used in aerospace engines by develo** a superhydrophobic coating on …

The flattening nature of the individual splat in thermal spraying is the fundamental process
for the coating fabrication process, thus numerous studies have been conducted to …
