Assessing Collaboration and Knowledge Flow on Coatings of Metallic Glasses Obtained From Thermal Spraying Processes Using Bibliometrics and Science Mapping

Abstract

Coatings of amorphous metallic alloys can be obtained using different thermal spraying processes, such as HVOF, plasma spraying, cold spraying and others. Although many studies focused on investigating scientific issues concerning apply amorphous metallic coatings using thermal spraying, less attention have been paid to evaluate how research institutes and companies are collaborating and influencing each other to promote new technologies. In this paper, we assessed the collaboration of organizations and the knowledge flow on this relatively new field using bibliometrics and science mapping. The method relies on scientific publications indexed in Web of Science and clustered into research areas using the CWTS Publication-level Classification System. These results provide useful insights about how players are organized and may be used in the context of R&D management, science policy and decision making.

A Review of Advances in Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing

“…For AM, it is not different, and the bibliometric analysis has been related to the AM impact on business [358], on the supply chain [26], on industry 4.0 [359], AM-specific applications in orthopedics [360], or the general AM overview and trends [361], among others. Regarding CS, the literature presents the use of bibliometric analysis for a general overview comparing CS to other thermal spray processes [362][363][364]; however, there is a gap in the literature presenting the evolution of publishing focused on CSAM, or who the researchers and the institutions involved in this important theme are.…”

Mapeamento Das Organizações Brasileiras E Estrangeiras Atuantes Em Vidros Metálicos

“…O mapeamento das organizações interessadas em metais amorfos foi realizado com base no procedimento experimental apresentado na Figura 1. As publicações científicas brasileiras foram recuperadas com a aplicação de uma expressão de busca elaborada com base em palavras chave que se referem ao tema, sendo a mesma desenvolvida e já aplicada em outras pesquisas conduzida pelos autores [1,7,15]. A busca foi realizada no campo tópico da base de dados Web of Science, que procura pelos termos no título, resumo e palavras chave dos registros bibliográficos indexados.…”

The Sustainable Management of Metals: An Analysis of Global Research

“…The Chinese Academy of Science and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas were also among the most productive institutions in terms of the sustainable management of mining waste [30]. China, particularly the Chinese Academy of Science, is particularly noteworthy for the study of coatings of metallic glasses obtained through thermal spraying processes [61]. The table includes the three main journals publishing articles by the most prolific institutions on SUMM.…”
