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) …

The high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying process has been employed for applying
engineering coatings on various industrial parts and components. Recently, post-spray …

The objective of the present work is to carry out analytical and finite element analysis for
commonly used coating materials for micro-milling applications on high-speed steel …

Thermal barrier coating with a CoNiCrAlY bond coating and a 0.3 mm thick zirconia,(7%
yttria stabilized) top coating were air plasma sprayed onto a Hastelloy-X nickel based super …

Subjected to thermal cycling, the apparent Young's modulus of air plasma-sprayed (APS)
8wt.% Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (8YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was measured by …

The evolution of microhardness, fracture toughness and residual stress of an air plasma-
sprayed thermal barrier coating system under thermal cycles was investigated by a modified …

Different studies have been demonstrated that the surface integrity of substrate bulk
materials to be coated has a significant impact on the adhesion of thermally sprayed …

Metallic coatings are often applied on steel tubes in power generation boilers to improve
their performance and extend the lifetime. Besides the high-temperature corrosion and …

Residual stresses generated in coatings during thermal spraying could have very different
inside intensity and distribution, depending on the materials and processing conditions. As it …

Adhesive and cohesive properties of the plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings,
deposited on Ti–6Al–4V substrates by varying the plasma power level and spray distance …
