Abstract
This invention relates to methods whereby nanoparticle precursor solutions are used in conventional thermal spray deposition for the fabrication of high-quality nanostructured coatings. The method allows combining nanoparticle synthesis, melting, and quenching into a single operation.
Claims8
A method for forming a nanostructured coating comprising
- (a) atomizing a liquid precursor;
- (b) delivering the atomized liquid precursor to a plasma flame of a thermal spray device, thereby forming nanoparticles;
- and
- (c) delivering the formed nanoparticles to a substrate, thereby forming a nanostructured coating on the substrate.
