“…Compared with HVOF spraying, AC-HVAF spraying has the advantages of low flame temperature, low cost, and efficient processing [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Besides that, AC-HVAF coatings have a lower oxygen content, lower porosity, denser layer, and beneficial compressive stress on the surface as compared with HVOF coatings [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Therefore, AC-HVAF spraying has received considerable attention and can be used to prepare a wide range of coatings, including pure metals, alloys, intermetallic compounds, nano-coatings, and amorphous coatings [ 2 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
