Issue Highlights:
Combined brazing and alitising process for thermally sprayed Ni-based alloys for the repair of turbine blades
In this paper, a two-stage hybrid technology is developed for the near-net-shape repair of turbine blades. Not only aspects relating to process and fabrication engineering but also materials engineering mechanisms are in...
Influence of in-flight particle states on the particle peening intensity and related properties of HVOF WC-CoCr coatings
The peening mechanism occurring during High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray deposition of Ceramic-Metallic (CerMet) powders, such as WCCoCr, has long been known to have beneficial effects on the coating properties...
Transplantation of thermally sprayed coatings
Lightweight construction is the catch phrase which garners attention in times of increasing endeavours regarding environmental protection. Within this framework, there is often the wish to utilise base materials which wo...
