Metallic biomaterials like stainless steel, Co-based alloy, Ti and its alloys are widely used as
artificial hip joints, bone plates and dental implants due to their excellent mechanical …

This book provides readers with the fundamentals necessary for understanding thermal
spray technology. Coverage includes in-depth discussions of various thermal spray …

The main challenge faced by spacecraft is the large temperature difference in its operating
environment. Thermal control coatings prepared on spacecraft and instrument surfaces are …

In this work, different Al 2 O 3–TiO 2 coatings, ie, Al 2 O 3, Al 2 O 3-13 wt.% TiO 2 and Al 2 O
3-40 wt.% TiO 2, produced by various thermal spray processes, namely:(i) atmospheric …

Originally defined high-entropy alloys (HEAs) are generally in a solid-solution state, which
are solution-strengthened by multiple-elements with desired toughness. However, the …

A typical structure of thermal spray coatings consisted of molten particles, semi-molten
particles, oxides, pores, and cracks. These factors caused the porosity of sprayed coatings …

A plasma sprayed Al 2 O 3–40% TiO 2 coating was processed by laser remelting to improve
its tribological properties. The effect of laser remelting on the tribological properties of …

This paper discusses the influence of using 13 wt% of TiO 2 addition to Al 2 O 3 powder and
selection of plasma spray parameters on morphology, microstructure, phase composition …

In this work, carbon steel surface was coated with Al 2 O 3–40 wt% TiO 2 composite using
thermal spraying method. The tribological properties of the plasma-sprayed Al 2 O 3–40 wt …

An eco-friendly H2ZrF6-based conversion coating reinforced by nanoceramic metal oxide
particles was used as a protective layer for cold-rolled steel (CRS) substrates. Initially, the …
