Thermal spray is a process in which a material is heated and sprayed onto a surface to create a protective or decorative coating. It is like painting but with melted material instead of paint to improve the surface properties. Full definition
The research could also be helpful for cleaning and waste management of additive manufacturing and thermal spray processes. (sciencedaily.com)
The surface layers on aircraft engine and gas turbines are called the thermal barrier coating and they are manufactured using a method called thermal spray application. (sciencedaily.com)
Other key engine design elements include a sand - cast engine block; lightweight and compact cylinder heads; FC thermal spray coating on the engine block cylinder sleeves (for higher thermal efficiency, weight and compactness); and a dry sump lubrication system that significantly reduces the engine's center of gravity — allowing 61 mm reduction from the crank center to the engine bottom versus a conventional wet sump — while ensuring effective lubrication at high cornering speeds.
