In recent years, near-nano (submicron) and nanostructured materials have attracted
increasingly more attention from the materials community. Nanocrystalline materials are …

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 …

In order to design composites and laminated materials, it is necessary to understand the
issues that govern crack deflection and crack penetration at interfaces. Historically, models …

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 …

Abstract The Al 2 O 3–TiB 2–TiC/Al metal matrix composite coatings were deposited onto
MB26 magnesium alloy substrates by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using the …

A wide-ranging, one-stop resource, the Materials Processing Handbook provides
groundbreaking coverage of processes applied to a myriad of solid materials. It presents the …

The efficacy of ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) used to protect and insulate metal
components in engines increases with the thickness of the TBCs. However, the durabilities …

Nanostructured and conventional titania (TiO2) feedstocks were thermal sprayed using air
plasma spray (APS) and high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF). The HVOF-sprayed coatings made …
