Journal of Thermal Spray Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This article describes the applications of lasers in coating deposition processes. After an introduction concerning the types and principal characteristics of the laser and the emitted light beams, a description of the mechanism of interaction between a laser beam with typical coating materials is presented. The typical laser treatment processes are depicted, and their characteristics are shown. Recent papers on coatings produced in one-step and two-step laser deposition are reviewed. Finally, the emerging applications of laser processes in thermal spray coatings are discussed.
