High-temperature oxidation in coal-fired power stations is a major challenge. Thermal
spraying is a prospective surface modification method to deposit protective coatings to …

Thermal spray coatings produced from nanostructured ceramic agglomerated powders were
tailored for different applications, some of which required almost completely opposite …

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 …

Hydroturbine components generally suffer from severe wear due to slurry erosion caused by
solid particles entrained in the flowing water. High-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray process is …

This paper discusses the influence of 40 wt% TiO 2 addition to Al 2 O 3 and the selection of
plasma spray parameters on the morphology, microstructure, microhardness and adhesion …

Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings are successfully used in many industrial applications,
where high wear and corrosion resistance with thermal insulation are required. In this study …

In this work, carbon steel surface was coated with Al 2 O 3–40 wt% TiO 2 composite using
thermal spraying method. The tribological properties of the plasma-sprayed Al 2 O 3–40 wt …

In this study, the substrates of Inconel 738-LC superalloy were first sprayed with an NiCrAlY
bondcoat and then with a nanostructured scandia (3.6 mol%) and yttria (0.4 mol%) co …

The interfacial toughness of two types of Al2O3-13wt% TiO2 plasma-sprayed ceramic
coatings on steel substrates—“conventional” and “nano”—has been measured using the …

Indentation crack growth resistance of nanostructured Al2O3–13wt.% TiO2 coatings plasma
sprayed using nanosized powders was investigated. Comparisons were made between the …
