Hard coatings based on thermal spray and laser cladding

Characterisation and Corrosion-Erosion Behaviour of Carbide based Thermal Spray Coatings

“…Conventional methods such as carburizing, nitriding, electroplating are being used over a century to protect tools, however, the development of the hard protective coatings in the narrower sense, started in the sixties with the discovery of chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition techniques. In recent times, modern deposition techniques such as thermal spray and laser cladding have become more popular and can give large throughput in shortest possible time [8]. Thermal spraying as a convenient way has been reported by several researchers.…”

Numerical simulation and experimental validation of powder flux distribution in coaxial laser cladding

“…Laser cladding has been successfully applied to hard coatings, where it can compete today with other deposition techniques such as thermal spray (Khana et al, 2008). Another industrial application is the repair of dies and moulds.…”

The Current Issues and Challenges of Product Recovery of Mating Surfaces

“…Therefore, still the coating required further finishing process to make the surface high finish, R a 0.5 µm. The hard coatings based on HVOF cladding were presented by Khanna in 2009, Tab. 1.…”
