The thermally sprayed processing did not damage the axle interface apparently, and its interfacial, thin, recrystallised, fine-grain layer and rolling-pressed, plastic deformation microstructure maintained good rotation-bending fatigue resistance.
The choice of feedstock, spraying process, equipment and processing conditions does not only depend on the resultant tribological properties.
Processing of cermet such as WC Co is not easy by cold (gas dynamic) spraying although cold spray process can eliminate the degradation of the phase as compared to conventional high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying process.
In special rapid-access processing equipment, films pass through chambers spraying the processing solutions onto the film surface or run in contact with monobath-soaked webs.
A hybrid artificial intelligence method (AIM) is used to optimize the atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) processing parameters for CoMoCrSi coatings deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrates.
This work focuses on the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spray processing of coatings and presents a fundamental model for the process which explicitly accounts for the effect of powder size distribution.
Plasma-spraying processing provides material with typical and complex microstructure.
FeBSiNb amorphous coatings were synthesized by arc spray processing.
Flame spray processing, although widely employed industrially, generally has received very limited attention in academic papers.
Therefore, development of effective bonding between coatings with various substrates is essential to cold spray processing.
50% of this activity is devoted to plasma spray processing with about 90% dedicated to direct current (DC) plasma torches.
