Abstract

The integration of sensors into thermally sprayed coatings can provide feedback about the functional status and operating history of the coatings as well as of the coated structures and surrounding environments. Sensors can be spray- formed directly on coatings using masking techniques. Production of coatings that contain embedded sensors opens up a new dimension for thermal spray technology: “smart” coatings. This paper describes the results of initial experiments to spray- form thermocouples, humidity sensors, strain gages, and sensor arrays.
