Answer:
Thermal spraying techniques are used in ceramic & metallic layers that involve wear and high-temperature problems.
Step-by-step explanation:
HVOF coatings may be as thick as 12 mm (1/2"). It is typically used to deposit wear and corrosion resistant coatings on materials, such as ceramic and metallic layers. Common powders include WC-Co, chromium carbide, MCrAlY, and alumina. The process has been most successful for depositing cermet materials (WC–Co, etc.) and other corrosion-resistant alloys (stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, aluminum, hydroxyapatite for medical implants, etc.).
