41 p.This final report on the Applied Research Project No. RP 56/92 presents the thermal
spray processing system that is applied to produce fine ceramic-based and metal-based
composite powders and coatings for wear resistant, high performance metal matrix
composites (MMC) and biomedical coatings. A high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) system
was set up. This thermal spray technique was able to apply various types of ceramic
and metal alloy coatings through high velocity spray forming or depoition.RP 56/9
