Dear Thermal Spray Community!
A very good article on the critical analysis of tensile bond strength tests for thermal spray coatings (e.g., ASTM C633) has been recently published in the ASM Thermal Spray Society (TSS) Journal of Thermal Spray Technology.
This is a very important paper to all of us who work in thermal spray and need to perform tensile adhesion tests (e.g., ASTM C633) on a regular basis.
An amazing paper from Shalaka Shinde; PhD student at Stony Brook. It is worth to take a look at it:
