Characterization of Thermal Spray Coatings by Instrumented Indentation and Scratch Testing: Thermal spray coatings have been used for several decades for enhanced wear, corrosion and thermal protection in various industrial domains. These coatings are routinely used in power plant turbines, aircraft engines, on pulp rolls in the paper industry and in many other applications where their mechanical properties have to be known. #thermalspray #powerplant #aircraft #industrial
