Coverage encompasses basics of th
This book discusses the concepts and uses of thermal spraying including starting powder, spraying parameters, diagnostics, coating deposition, evolved microstructure and resulting properties complemented with several case studies to associate the learnings with applied concepts. The major parts of the instrumentation, the spraying gun, which is the fundamental aspect of different thermal spraying conditions are also discussed. Solved examples, numerical problems and descriptive questions are included for self-assessment at the end of every chapter. The book: Discusses all aspects from starting powder, spraying parameters, diagnostics and coating deposition; Explores schematics to highlight the conceptual notes; Includes multiple case studies from domains including aerospace, biomedical, manufacturing, wettability and others to highlight the practical application of thermally sprayed coatings; Covers classification of thermal spray techniques; and Contains solved example, numerical problems and descriptive questions for self-assessment. This book is aimed at senior undergraduates and graduates in materials science and engineering.
This extensively updated and revised version builds on the success of the first edition featuring new discoveries in powder technology, spraying techniques, new coatings applications and testing techniques for coatings -- Many new spray techniques are considered that did not exist when the first edition was published! The book begins with coverage of materials used, pre-spray treatment, and the techniques used. It then leads into the physics and chemistry of spraying and discusses coatings build-up. Characterization methods and the properties of the applied coatings are presented, and the book concludes with a lengthy chapters on thermal spray applications covers such areas as the aeronautics and space, automobiles, ceramics, chemicals, civil engineering, decorative coatings, electronics, energy generation and transport, iron and steel, medicine, mining and the nuclear industries.

This book provides readers with the fundamentals necessary for understanding thermal spray technology. Coverage includes in-depth discussions of various thermal spray processes, feedstock materials, particle-jet interactions, and associated yet very critical topics: diagnostics, current and emerging applications, surface science, and pre and post-treatment. This book will serve as an invaluable resource as a textbook for graduate courses in the field and as an exhaustive reference for professionals involved in thermal spray technology.
This book presents the principles of plasma and heat spraying. It introduces plasma jet and the formation of plasma sprayed coatings. It explains the adhesion process and also presents standard methods for measurement according to DIN forms. Some case studies are presented for illustration.
Thousands of patents address new coating types, new developments, new chemical compositions. However, sometimes coatings is still considered as an "art". This book now deals with questions that are essential for a good performance of this "art": Is there a given process stability? Is there an inherent process capability for a given specification which cannot be improved? What is the right preventive maintenance strategy? Is there a chance to end up with coating process capabilities in the order of other manufacturing processes? This book is not a pure scientific book. It is of most value for the engineer involved in design, processing and application of thermally spayed coatings: To understand the capability and limitations of thermal spraying, to understand deposition efficiency (waste of powder) and the importance of maintenance and spare parts for quick change over of worn equipment, to use offline programming and real equipment in an optimum mix to end up with stable processes in production after shortest development time and in the end to achieve the final target in production: process stability at minimum total cost.
This book guides readers through the systematic analysis of Arc Spraying: one of the most widespread and important thermal spraying methods. Along the way, readers from industry and research laboratories become familiar with the features of the process and physical-chemical regulations of particles in flight, coating formation, internal coating properties, and their output parameters. The book is ideal for engineers, technicians, and scientists engaged in welding and thermal spraying and stands as an excellent reference for students interested in advanced coatings technology.
