Vv. Sobolev et Jm. Guilemany, Effect of oxidation on droplet flattening and splat-substrate interaction in thermal spraying, J THERM SPR, 8(4), 1999, pp. 523-530
The processes of oxidation that occur during particle inflight motion and d
uring splat solidification in an oxygen-rich atmosphere were considered for
the thermal spray process. The effect of oxidation on droplet flattening,
splat-substrate mechanical and thermal interaction, splat morphology, and d
evelopment of coating porosity and adhesion was studied. The influence of w
etting and oxygen dissolution on flattening and splat-substrate adhesion wa
s also investigated. The results from theoretical treatment agree with expe
rimental observations.
