Arc Sprayed Coatings for Industrial Applications

This paper provides a general overview of arc spraying and its various uses in industry. It discusses the basics of the technique, the types of wires and powders used, and typical applications for a wide range of arc-sprayed metals and composites. It also discusses special cases and considerations such as wear protection in corrosive atmospheres, high-temperature corrosion protection, surface rebuilding and reprofiling, coating thickness, and the effect of different elements. Paper includes a German-language abstract.
