This article intends to summarize our actual knowledge in plasma spraying with an
emphasis on the points where work is still in progress. It presents successively: the plasma …

This paper is devoted to thermal spraying and presents the state of our current knowledge,
as well as the following research or development needs: spraying heat sources, ie, flame …

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) …

Since the early stages of thermal spray, it has been recognized that the powder composition,
size distribution, shape, mass density, mechanical resistance, components distribution for …

Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are needed to protect SiC structures exposed to high
temperatures in water vapor-rich environments. Recent studies of a tri-layer EBC system …

Thermal barrier coatings used to protect the blades of aircraft and gas turbine engines are
primarily ceramic coatings with unique microstructures result of the deposition method used …

The interest to manufacture on large surfaces thick (ie, 10 to 20 μm, average thickness)
finely structured or nano-structured layers is increasingly growing since about 10 years. This …

Thermal spray processing is used to confer specific in-service properties to components via
the production of a coating between 50 μm (minimum value) to a few millimeters thick …

This paper presents what is our actual knowledge about sensors, used in the harsh
environment of spray booths, to improve the reproducibility and reliability of coatings …

Atmospheric plasma spraying is used extensively to make Thermal Barrier Coatings of 7-8%
yttria-stabilized zirconia powders. The main problem faced in the manufacture of yttria …
