Recently, there has been an intensive research in the area of thermal processing of nanostructured materials for their high strength and structural applications. With this intention Praxair and TAFA has introduced wire arc spray to fabricate nanostructured coatings. Research has shown that both hardness and wear resistance can easily be increased through decreasing coating grain size to nanometer range. This low cost manufacturing process could potentially solve many wear and corrosion problems.
