Thermal Spray versus Other Coating Processes
Thermal spray processes differ from other coating processes in that they are non-atomistic; that is, they do not deposit material onto surfaces as individual ions, atoms, or molecules. Instead, relatively massive particulates are deposited onto a surface in the form of liquid droplets or semimolten or solid particles. Coating feedstock materials usually come in the […]
Properties Of Sprayed Coatings Efficiency And Coverage
Efficiency is used as a test to assist in establishing the optimum economic and technical deposition parameters. In general, conditions giving high deposition efficiencies are close to those for optimum fuel utilisation, they are also close to those for maximum integrity. Factors Affecting Efficiency Efficiency will be affected by: Measured efficiency will be reduced when […]
