This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project proposes to develop a real timecoating property sensor to measure intrinsic material properties of thermal spray coatings. The project proposes to develop this technology into a production capable tool for thermal spray process development and control with the following attributes: measures useful coating properties in situ; usable by real world spray shop operators at both small and large shops; relatively inexpensive ($25K); able to operate in harsh environment; and uses minimal assumptions and complexities associated with property interpretation. The project will demonstrate feasibility of producing such a tool under Phase I. Under Phase II, a production tool will be developed and important relationships between the tool output and the functional properties of the coatings will be generated. Despite this need, there are no simple procedures currently available to rapidly determine the mechanical properties of coatings both in laboratory and industrial settings. As thermal spray coatings evolve from a role of life extension of components to performing a prime reliant function, there exists a critical need to develop procedures to obtain design relevant properties.The impact of this project will provide commercial thermal spray customers with engineering support directed at improving quality and repeatability of coatings application. This should result in significant capital expenditure savings for companies over many disciplines that are involved in manufacturing.

该小企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目提出开发一种真实的时间涂层性能传感器，以测量热喷涂涂层的固有材料性能。 该项目建议将该技术开发为具有以下属性的热喷涂工艺开发和控制的生产能力工具：原位测量有用的涂层性能;可供真实的世界喷涂车间操作员在小型和大型车间使用;相对便宜（2.5万美元）;能够在恶劣环境中操作;并使用与属性解释相关的最小假设和复杂性。 该项目将证明在第一阶段制作这种工具的可行性。 在第二阶段，将开发生产工具，并将产生工具输出和涂层功能特性之间的重要关系。 尽管有这种需求，目前还没有简单的程序来快速确定涂层在实验室和工业环境中的机械性能。随着热喷涂涂层从延长部件寿命的角色演变为执行主要依赖功能，迫切需要开发程序以获得设计相关性能。该项目的影响将为商业热喷涂客户提供旨在提高涂层应用质量和可重复性的工程支持。 这将为涉及制造业的许多学科的公司节省大量资本支出。
