There are some descriptions of different thermal spray processes under the
link labeled “outside
resources.” Also a few thermal
spray lesson plans. Thermal
spray is a continuous melt-spray process, in which particles (e.g., 1-50µm
dia.) of virtually any material are melted and accelerated to high
velocities, through either a combustion flame or a DC or RF thermal plasma
arc. The droplets impinge on a substrate and rapidly solidify to form a thin
"splat". The splats accumulate into a well- bonded deposit,
generally >10µm thick. The resulting microstructure and, thus, properties,
rely critically on the processing parameters, which are numerous and complex.
CTSR's
science-based interests extend to rapid solidification; accessing regions of
phase diagrams not readily available using other means; processing/properties
of metastable phases; synthesizing materials having novel electrical/magnetic
properties; mechanics and micro-mechanical deformation of graded materials;
damage tolerance and reliability of coatings; developing and applying a wide
range of materials analysis techniques. |
