Abstract:In order to homogenize the properties of APS sprayed coatings, the spray process was investigated using numerical simulations combined with innovative diagnostic techniques. The process was subdivided into three areas: the plasma torch, the free jet, and coating formation. By simulating these areas separately and combining the results, appropriate process parameters for homogenized coatings were obtained. For a comprehensive computation of coating formation which, besides the impact, flattening, and solidifica… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
