This handbook provides a complete description of the technology of thermal spray coatings. The most important techniques of thermal spraying in present use as well as those in the research and developmental stages are discussed. The book correlates coatings properties with their microstructure and processing parameters, and outlines techniques of post spraying treatment such as mechanical finishing, high pressure and high temperature treatments and laser treatment.
