6. Process implementation
The choice of process depends not only on the choice of material and the desired deposition properties, but also on a number of deposition-related factors such as :
surface preparation ;
masking or protection of untreated areas ;
any preheating ;
temperature control ;
post-processing ;
final machining ;
etc.
Thermal spray surface treatment procedures include some or all of the following steps:
surface preparation ;
definition of torch/part animations ;
deposit realization ;
