 Abstract:
In flight diagnostics systems and post-deposition characterization have been used to monitor, control the process and to evaluate their effects on the properties of thermal sprayed coatings. However, limited information is usually gathered during the actual deposition stages. Monitoring residual stress build-up during spraying is emerging as the novel tool to understand in real-time the formation of coatings layer by layer. In the present study, we focus particularly on high particle velocity thermal spray processes where the impact is an important contributor in deposit evolution, by peening the underlying layers resulting in strain-hardened sometimes densified sublayers with a compressive residual stress state in metallic and cermet coatings.
In this paper, we study the evolution of residual stresses during coating deposition through insitu curvature monitoring for various process conditions, deposition materials, substrate materials and substrate conditions (temperature/roughness). The results reveal important insights into coating build up processes with concomitant implications on properties and performance.
