There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

Thermal spraying is the most important coating technology for depositing advanced ceramic
coatings which have been widely applied to different industrial fields for materials protection …

Inter-splat bonding dominates the properties and performance of thermally sprayed metallic
coatings. Thus, enhancing the inter-splat bonding is a necessary approach to improve the …

Splats formed during a thermal spray process may be either highly fragmented or intact and
disk-like. To predict this change in splat morphology, a dimensionless solidification …

Although thermal spray metallic coatings have been widely used for materials protection
from wear, corrosion and oxidation, its porous feature limits the full utilization of materials …

Tensile adhesion tests (TATs) are an economical and convenient tool to assess the bond
strength of thermal spray coatings and provide insight into manufacturing reliability and …

In this study, the mechanism controlling the formation of a chemical bonding between a
ceramic melt and a solid body prior to the melt solidification was investigated using the …

Controllable formation of splat bonding in thermally sprayed coatings is essential to fulfill
requirements of versatile coating applications, because the bonding influences most of the …

Coatings of aluminum and zinc were applied on two thermoplastic materials, ultra-high
molecular weight polyethylene (PE) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), using twin wire-arc …

Electroless nickel (EN) deposits are classified as anefficient class of coatings used mainly to
enhance the surface performance characteristics of a range of substrates. Electroless …
