Recent Advancements in Thermal Spray Coatings

Abstract

Different methods and techniques are employed to protect the materials from degradation. Within most industry segments, significant financial losses may be incurred due to accelerated wear of various components. In order to minimize the effects of mechanical wear and extend product life, thermal spray coating solutions introduced into production and is further developing them to meet even more demanding wear applications. Applying coatings using thermal spray is an established industrial method for resurfacing metal parts. The process is characterized by simultaneously melting and transporting sprayed materials, usually metal or ceramics, onto parts. In this paper some studies on Thermal sprayed wear resistant coatings have been reviewed.
