| Abstract Scope |
Thermal spray coatings are frequently used to provide improved resistance to wear, corrosion and thermal conduction across a variety of structural metals including, but not limited to, steel and nickel. For these reasons, thermal spray coatings have found extensive use in a multitude of industries. The performance and structural integrity of these coatings are often sensitive to microstructure and chemical segregation. Three-dimensional characterization has been used to characterize the complex, interconnected microconstituents in coatings and map chemical inhomogeneity. Here mechanical serial-sectioning of Ta thermal spray coatings is combined with optical and scanning electron microscopy as well as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to map elemental composition and identify spatial distributions of oxides.
