Abstract (Deutsch)

Thermal spray coatings are used to increase resistance against mechanical, chemical and thermal wear. However, state-of-the-art testing methods cannot be used for continuous quality control during production. The methods in use are destructive, subjective and show low repeatability. In this project, a new method is proposed for rapid, quantitative, nondestructive and repeatable in-situ measurement of porosity, thickness and thermal properties of thermal spray coatings.
