Thermally sprayed coatings for engineering components

• Features of sprayed coatings and comparisons with other surfacing technologies.
  
• Description of the different processes detailing the properties of the coatings associated with them. e.g Plasma, High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) and other combustion processes, vacuum spraying and post heat treated coatings.
  
• Range of materials including metals, ceramics and cermets. In some cases combined as alloys, blends or composites.
  
• Characterisation of different materials
  
• Preparation
  
• Pre assessment of proposed applications and coating selection.
  
• Corrosion considerations with the use of dis similar materials.
  
• Finishing sprayed coatings
  
• Applications
  
• Health and Safety and Euro/International Standards
