Thermal spraying is widely used to produce application-based superior surfaces on relatively cheap bulk materials, thus saving materials and cost. The concept is based on the assumption that the coating offers the same superior properties as the bulk material of the same composition. However, the use of thermal spray coatings for corrosion protection requires an awareness regarding microstructural modification during coating deposition and due to which, a performance gap may exist between coating and the bulk material.
