Abstract
Over the last 50 years, thermal spraying has evolved and is now capable of depositing free-standing materials onto mandrels at thicknesses exceeding 100 mm. Advances in processing (including high-velocity oxy-fuel, inert/chamber plasma spray, and improved powder compositions and morphologies) have combined to enable the successful implementation of thermal-spray forming for both monolithic and composite materials. This article, the second in a series on thermal-spray processes, describes some of the recent advances in the application of thermal-spray forming.
