On the Cover:
A schematic overview of the thermal-spray
process. The boxed photograph at center left shows a dual-injection
plasma-spray method for depositing metalceramic graded coatings.
This approach is being investigated by Fincke et al. at the Idaho
National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), sponsored
by the U.S. Department of Energy, Basic Energy Sciences Engineering
Research Program. Above the photograph is a process simulation
of the approach (a collaborative effort between INEEL and SUNY-Stony
Brook). The three-dimensional splat profile at bottom right was
obtained through Zygo noncontact profilometry, and the micrograph
at far right depicts the metallographic cross section of the
metalceramic graded coating. See the technical theme that
begins on page 12.
