“…Many investigations have been carried out to prepare NiTi coatings or films with cavitation and erosion resistance. These NiTi coatings are generally prepared by explosive welding [20,21], low pressure plasma spray process (LPPS, used to be called VPS) [4,15,22,23], air plasma spraying (APS) [22][23][24], high velocity oxy-fuel spray (HVOF) [22][23][24][25], tungsten inert gas (TIG) [26], laser [27,28], laser plasma hybrid spraying [29,30], sputter depositing [31], cold spraying [32,33] and modified high-velocity oxygen fuel spraying process (so called low temperature HVOF) [34][35][36][37]. Many researchers studied the cavitation erosion resistance of NiTi coatings.…”
