Abstract Some applications of thermally sprayed coatings need a metallurgical bonding of substrate and coating. This can be reached by laser remelting of a thermally sprayed coating, which causes, on the other hand, a certain dilution of the substrate elements into the coating. This article discusses the influence of reaction enthalpies on the microstructure formation in the alloying systems Ni-Al and Ti-Al. Experimental work and simulation were done to examine the time constants of solidification influenced by laser dwell time and reaction enthalpy. It was observed that, for short dwell times, the reaction heat dominates the solidification process and the microstructure formation.

AE was measured under a static tensile load for the thermally sprayed ceramic coating in order to investigate the relationship between the detected m-value and the destruction (delamination) of the sprayed coating. This was an effective method to detect and evaluate the delamination of a sprayed coating based on the m-value, because changes of the m-value were closely related in thermally sprayed coatings. Stress level of the delamination analyzed by AE method was almost the same as that predicted by the ESPI method. The generation of delamination was confirmed by cross-section observation of the coating using both stress levels. Therefore, the ESPI method seems to be an effective way to define and evaluate the delamination of sprayed coating determine.

Thermally sprayed coatings, together with the deposition, belong among the most important technology both in the section of renovation and creation of functional surfaces. With the help of this technology it is possible to considerably improve the working life of the individual functional parts or to improve the range of their service parameters. Thermally sprayed coatings offer great variability both in light of backup materials (steels, non-ferrous metals, plastics), and in light of functional surfaces (metal powders, carbidic mixtures or ceramics). This paper describes individual types of powders with a view to properties and application possibilities of powders on the basis of W carbides with utilization of HVOF technology including a description of such method. Moreover the paper describes destructive and non-destructive tests for thermally created coatings. The experimental part is focused on the influence of pressure in the HVOF nozzle combustion chamber on the porosity and hardness of thermally sprayed coating for W carbide powders with different percentages of Co.

Abstract Thermally sprayed coatings of high performance thermoplastics are of interest espacially for the chemical industry for anti-corrosion applications at elevated temperatures. In this paper coatings of polyetherether-keton (PEEK) and polyphenylen-sulphide (PPS) have been produced by simple flamespraying. They have been investigated by optical metallography, FT-IR analysis and DSC-analysis. Among the coating properties also the "in-flight" particles have been studied by wipe-tests and FT-IR analysis in order to assess possible decomposition effects during spraying.

Abstract LPPS Thin Film is a new technology for the production of thin functional coatings. The coatings produced can fill the well known gap of coating thickness between conventional thin films (PVD, CVD and others) and conventional thermally sprayed coatings (Plasma, HVOF and others). The application is successful, if the advantages of the new technology (large areas can be dense coated within a very short time) are combined with the specific properties of thermally sprayed coatings to the benefit of the intended application. Beside the technology of LPPS Thin Film and it's characteristics the paper will summarise important properties of Alumina described in the literature and present some corresponding properties of Aluminium oxide coatings produced by LPPS Thin Film.
