TL;DR: In this article, an in situ laser remelting plasma-spraying technique, implementing in particular a diode laser, was performed to improve the properties of thermal barrier coatings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the pore structure of yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) manufactured implementing air plasma spraying and hybrid plasma spraying was characterized.

TL;DR: In this paper, laser remelting was combined to thermal spraying in order to modify the TBC properties, which improved the thermal insulation properties of TBC by decreasing its thermal conductivity of about 30%, and increased the resistance to isothermal shocks.

TL;DR: In this article, the wear resistance of NiCrBSi alloy and AISI 316L stainless steel coated by thermal spraying and laser cladding was investigated, and tribological characterizations were carried out in order to determine the alternative potential of NiCBSi coatings compared to electrolytic hard chromium plating, in applications to resist wear.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the environmental and technical results obtained with thermal spraying and laser cladding for surface coatings, with a justified environmental behavior, carried out by thermal spray processes (APS and HVOF) and with a diode laser.
