Abstract
The effect of methods and conditions of thermal spraying on structure and phase composition of coatings of the Al-Cu-Fe system alloy powders has been investigated. It is shown that the maximum y-phase content of the coatings can be produced by the method of air-gas plasma spraying. In this case the thermal spray coatings inherit the multi-phase nature of initial powders. Preheating of the substrate prior to spraying allows the y-phase content of the coatings to be increased
Keywords: thermal spraying, powders, coatings, structure, quasicrystalline phase, Al-Cu-Fe alloy
