- Ion Beam Techniques for the determination
of wear characteristics of industrial coatings. The aim of the paper is to give an overview
of some ion beam techniques for surface material characterization and to introduce the "thin layer activation"
; (TLA). Published on SurfaceWeb on 13/07/98.
- Powder Manufacturing Methods.
There are four basic methods of producing powders for thermal spraying. These are "crushing
", "agglomeration", "chemical" and "atomisation". Each method can be further sub-divided and powders can also be made by
various combinations from each group. As a result there is a wide range of production routes available each producing
powders with their own particular characteristics. Published on SurfaceWeb on 24/06/98.

- Smart Overlay Coatings - Concept and
Practice. Smart overlay coatings are chemically graded overlay coatings, designed to provide
optimal resistance to high temperature oxidation, type I and type II hot corrosion. The coating system has been designed
for application to turbine components, within utility gas turbines. Published on SurfaceWeb on 12/06/98.
