“…6 -10 As such, researchers have examined the effects of particle viscosity, 11,12 velocity, [13][14][15][16][17] and temperature 17,18 on splat morphology. Studies also have focused on the influence of the substrate on splat morphology; these studies included the effects of surface roughness, 12,13,19 temperature, 13,15,20 -22 and material type. 13,23 To date, however, few studies 15,24 have been performed that relate the integrity of the individual splats to the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting coating.…”
