Journal of Thermal Spray Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Conclusion

The wire arc spray process is a viable method for fabricating advanced MMCs and IMCs. A significant degree of maturity has been developed in fabricating refractory wire-reinforced MMCs and SiC-reinforced titanium-base composites, the properties of the latter being among the best reported for that material system. Approaches for using the process in fabricating Al2O3-reinforced composites have been demonstrated and warrant further development.
