Thermal spraying consists in a technology aiming at producing coatings whose thicknesses
range from 10 μm to a few millimeters onto mechanical components to confer them specific …

The fretting wear mechanism of plasma-sprayed CuNiIn coating on Ti-6Al-4V substrate
under plane/plane contact conditions was investigated systematically using a bench level …

Present draft reports an experimental investigation on surface characterization and
mechanical properties of plasma sprayed copper coatings on copper substrate. A …

Dovetail joint specimens manufactured from the Ti-6Al-4V alloy were designed and used to
investigate the fretting fatigue behavior of the blade/disk interface in gas turbine engines …

Abstract Cu-15Ni-8Sn coatings were prepared using atmospheric plasma spraying. The
influences of arc current and aging treatment on the microstructure, mechanical and …

Two types of CuNiIn coatings with different microstructures were successfully prepared on
the surface of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy by means of high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) and plasma …

At its early stages of development, thermal spray technology was mostly used for the repair,
rebuilding, retrofitting, and for surface protection against corrosion, erosion and wear. The …

In this last chapter of this book, a global evaluation of the progress of the thermal spray (TS)
technology over the past few decades is presented driven by a “market-pull” and …

During atmospheric plasma spraying, a cooling process usually plays an important role in
the coating quality, especially for the oxidation containment of metallic coatings. CuNiIn and …

Combustion spraying, often referred to as “Flame spraying (FS),” is at the base of the wide
field of thermal spray technologies, which was developed in the early twentieth century and …
