THE MORPHOLOGY OF DETONATION COATINGS

The increase of durability and reliability of machine parts is successfully achieved by detonation spraying of powders. The technology of spraying and the applied equipment is improved, the range of the used materials is expanded. However, the properties of coatings are significantly influenced by the morphology of the coatings. This paper presents the results of systematization of the morphology of detonation coatings, features of the structure, shape of single coating spots and layers, their topography, and other features of the structure of coatings affecting their properties are considered.
