Funded Activity Summary
Interfacial Structures in Thermal Spray Coatings. The use of coatings on the surfaces of components provides high levels of resistance to mechanical damage, corrosion, oxidation or thermal degradation. As a result, coated components exhibit increased lifetimes and reliability. However, the durability of such components is still crucially limited by the quality of the coating. An improved understanding of the bonding mechanisms that occur during the deposition of such coatings, prepared through thermal spray methods, will provide improvements in coating structure and thus, component performance and lifetime. This will benefit a wide range of manufacturing industries that use such coatings.Funded Activity Details
