J. Krejcova et al., APPLICATION OF IMAGE-ANALYSIS IN THE STUDY OF NICR-AL DIFFUSION COUPLES PRODUCED BY THERMAL PLASMA SPRAYING, Praktische Metallographie, 35(2), 1998, pp. 71-79
Metallography and image analysis were applied to study a plasma spraye
d Ni20Cr coating on an Al substrate and the structure evolution by dif
fusion during the heat treatment of these couples. The results show th
at while the thickness of layers could be measured almost automaticall
y, the particle characterization required some caution as manual editi
ng and careful selection of the magnification.
