Thermal Spray High Performance Polymer Coatings

Nylon 11/silica nanocomposite coatings applied by the HVOF process. I. Microstructure and morphology

“…Particle heating, quenching, consolidation and post-treatment are thus com-bined into a single step process in which relatively thick coatings (up to several millimeters) can be produced. 8 The important benefits of using a thermal spray process for the application of polymer nanocomposite coatings include: (a) application of coatings with high melt viscosity. 8 Materials are processed in the form of powders and heated only to a temperature at which the particles are viscous enough to spread on impact at the surface due to the high kinetic energy.…”

(b) processing without use of volatile organic solvents, eliminating the need for costly solvent removal.…”

Optimization of fatigue strength of selective inhibition sintered polyamide 12 parts using RSM

“…The result also shows lower heater energy around 220°C was sufficient enough to fuse powder particles as well as to create necessary bonding between the successive layers. At higher heater energy, more heat energy is transferred into the powder bed which will decompose the polymer and produces gas that leads to porosity [45]. Similarly, Figure 12 shows the impact of the interaction of layer thickness and heater feed rate on the fatigue property of SIS parts.…”

Corrosion of One-Step Superhydrophobic Stainless-Steel Thermal Spray Coatings

“…Over the past century, different types of thermal spray coating technologies have emerged including high-velocity oxygen spray, , plasma spray, , and even cold spray (i.e., near ambient temperatures) technologies, all of which are promising or have become essential for the protection of industrial infrastructure. , Various materials such as metals (wire, powder, or rod), ceramics, , and polymers , have been thermally sprayed onto many different substrates. , The particles are (semi-)­melted and accelerated to high velocities directed at the substrate where they impinge and rapidly solidify to form a thin “splat”. The buildup of splats from successive impingement and interbonding results in a deposited coating, generally >10 μm thick .…”
