Surface functionalisation of high-performance polymers
Thermoplastic high-performance polymers such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK) are becoming ever more significant in lightweight construction. The greatest disadvantage of these materials relates to the low wear resistanc...
Study on the Influence of Adhesives on theTensile Adhesive Strength of Sprayed Coatings
The formation of splats during high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying is closely connected to the condition of the substrate surface. The appearance of the splats changes if the particles are deposited on surfaces with h...
Diagnostics for APS and HVOF spraying processes
This article deals with two different coating procedures with thermal spraying (high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying and atmospheric plasma spraying (APS)). In this respect, new results are highlighted for the determin...
