Development of advanced materials by a high velocity spray forming technique

Abstract

This final report on the Applied Research Project No. RP 56/92 presents the thermal spray processing system that is applied to produce fine ceramic-based and metal-based composite powders and coatings for wear resistant, high performance metal matrix composites (MMC) and biomedical coatings. A high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) system was set up. This thermal spray technique was able to apply various types of ceramic and metal alloy coatings through high velocity spray forming or depoition.
