Abstract
This review is done essentially to study results in the field of synthesis and characterization of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT’s) reinforced nanocomposite coatings using thermal sprayed coatings. CNT reinforced nanocomposite coatings produced by thermal spray process are being developed for a wide variety of applications, e.g. aerospace, automotive and sports equipment industries. It is anticipated that, if properly deposited, nanocomposite ceramic coatings could also provide improved properties like wear resistance and thermal barrier coatings. These results clearly demonstrate that the significant improvement in coating performance can be achieved by utilizing proper thermal sprayed nanocomposite coatings. Thermal sprayed nanocomposite coatings shows improvement of resistance to wear, erosion, corrosion and mechanical properties. The purpose of this paper is to review CNT reinforced nanocomposite coatings using thermal spray by various researchers.
