This article intends to summarize our actual knowledge in plasma spraying with an
emphasis on the points where work is still in progress. It presents successively: the plasma …

Based on the fact that titanium and titanium alloys have poor fretting fatigue resistance and
poor tribological properties, it is necessary to apply some surface engineering methods in …

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

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) …

Since the early stages of thermal spray, it has been recognized that the powder composition,
size distribution, shape, mass density, mechanical resistance, components distribution for …

A broad overview of the science and technology leading to the development and
implementation of the first plasma sprayed nanostructured coating is described in this paper …

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 …

The development of constituent phases and microstructure in plasma sprayed Al2O3–
13wt.% TiO2 coatings and reconstituted nanocrystalline feed powder was investigated as a …

Reconstituted nanostructured powders were plasma sprayed using various processing
conditions to produce nanostructured alumina–titania coatings. Properties of the …
