Thermal spray coatings have emerged as a transformative surface engineering technique, enabling the enhancement of material performance in harsh operational environments. By propelling molten or ...

Thermal spray coatings have been used for several decades for enhanced wear, corrosion and thermal protection in various industrial domains. These coatings are routinely used in power plant turbines, ...

For those of us hackers who have gone down a machining rabbit hole, we all know how annoying it can be to over-machine a part. Thermal spraying, while sounding sci-fi, is a method where you can just ...

An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene — a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade ...

In critical fields such as aerospace, military, and industrial manufacturing, surface protection of components has been a longstanding challenge. Ceramic materials with high melting points, hardness, ...

An international team of researchers has found that a thin coating of MXene -- a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial -- could enhance a material's ability to trap or shed heat. The discovery, which ...
