Remanufacturing of Engine Cylinder Bores withPTWA (Plasma Transferred Wire Arc) Spray Repair
Remanufacturing is a growing global industry with important environmental and cost benefits. Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) thermal spray is used to repair worn cylinder bores in aluminum and cast iron engines by rep...
Development of diffusion barrier coats forCFC components by means of thermal sprayingtechnology
Within the framework of this research work, diffusion barrier coats on the basis of Y2O3, mullite and ZrO2 - 7 % Y2O3 were developed for CFC components. The coat systems were investigated in relation to the coat formatio...
Corrosion of Thermally Sprayed Oxide CeramicCoatings
In the present work, the preparation and corrosion resistance of APS- and HVOFsprayed oxide ceramic coatings in acids and bases as well as in hydrothermal conditions were systematically investigated. Apart from the commo...
