Abstract
Thermal spraying (TS) is increasingly used to deposit thick wear
resistant coatings on machine and equipment parts. Therefore, it is of
uttermost importance to know their mechanical properties in order to tailor
and optimize the coatings for various applications. Typically properties of
the thermal sprayed coatings are inferior as compared to corresponding bulk
materials for various reasons. Furthermore, measurement of mechanical
properties of coatings is much more tedious and difficult than deriving bulk
properties. In this paper, mechanical properties of alumina based
nanocrystalline coatings and the measurement techniques developed are
reported. A model relating the microstructure of the sprayed coatings and
their properties is introduced and discussed.
