Fabrication of Sprayed Composite Coating and Evaluation of Its Thermal Property

Abstract

Current studies relating to both fabrication processes of plasma sprayed composite coatings and evaluation of some thermal properties of these coatings were reviewed. The reports about the application of mechanically alloyed composite powders to plasma spraying for the fabrication of composite coatings were mainly introduced. Synopses of some researches on both definition of the fracture conditions of thermal shock testing and determination of the evaluation parameters of coating microstructure were also given.
