Interfacial Structures in Thermal Spray Coatings

在部件表面上使用涂层可提供高水平的抗机械损伤、腐蚀、氧化或热降解能力。因此，涂层组件表现出更长的寿命和可靠性。然而，这些部件的耐久性仍然受到涂层质量的严重限制。对通过热喷涂方法制备的此类涂层沉积过程中发生的结合机制的更好理解将提供涂层结构的改进，从而改进部件性能和寿命。这将使使用这种涂料的广泛制造业受益。

The use of coatings on the surfaces of components provides high levels of resistance to mechanical damage, corrosion, oxidation or thermal degradation. As a result, coated components exhibit increased lifetimes and reliability. However, the durability of such components is still crucially limited by the quality of the coating. An improved understanding of the bonding mechanisms that occur during the deposition of such coatings, prepared through thermal spray methods, will provide improvements in coating structure and thus, component performance and lifetime. This will benefit a wide range of manufacturing industries that use such coatings.
