Functionalisation of ceramic surfaces with thermalspray coatings

The aim of the present work was to develop thermal spray coating solutions for flexible, targeted modification of the functionality of ceramic substrate surfaces. In principle, all ceramic substrates of sufficient streng...

Influence of Heat Treatment on Microstructureand Thermo Physical Properties of Plasma SprayedZrO2–7%Y2O3 and La2Zr2O7 Coatings

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are inseparably linked to jet engines. The microstructure of these coatings significantly affects their physical properties. As a mutual feature of the microstructure of plasma sprayed coa...

Investigation of the influence of path planning and robot dynamics on near net-shape coatings

For a large number of industrial applications, thermally sprayed WC-Co coatings constitute an established concept for the wear protection of surfaces subjected to high tribomechanical stresses. Compared with thermal proc...
