A single splat is the building block of a thermal spray coating; thus, investigating single splats is essential to understanding thermal spray coatings and their properties. In this study, the spreading behavior and the morphology of flame sprayed ethylene methacrylic acid (EMAA) splats, deposited at various stand-off distances (SODs) onto glass and mild steel substrates were investigated using...

We will now dig deeper into the details of this matrix factorization, and discuss the two specific bilateral representations we use: the simplified bilateral grid, and the permutohedral lattice [1]. Filtering with both the permutohedral lattice and the simplified bilateral grid works by “splatting” a value at each pixel onto a small number of vertices, performing a separable blur in the space o...

It is difficult to establish structure–property relationships in plasma sprayed coatings because of their unique and intermingled splat microstructures incorporating networks of various intrinsic process-dependent microdefects. In this paper, these coatings are characterized using two distinctly different approaches, both based on novel experimental techniques and computational modeling tools. ...

Abstract The integrity and properties of ceramic coatings produced by atmospheric plasma spraying are highly controlled the splat morphology interconnection. In this study, influence selected parameters (spray angle, surface velocity spray gun, substrate temperature) on coating microstructure was investigated. A favorite set gun parameters, which their effects have been verified previous experi...
