 Abstract:
Thermal spray coating is being increasingly used to enhance the performance of industrial components. New improved coatings and newer thermal spraying processes are being invented to improve the performance of the coatings. One of the biggest factor responsible for the performance of the coating is the adhesion of the coating with the substrate. Without good adhesion strength any good coating will prove ineffective. Grit blasting, laser surface treatment, dry ice blasting are some of the techniques being used or researched for good coating adhesion strength. This paper reviews the state of the art in the area of substrate preparation techniques.
