Abstract: Bonding strength is one of the important indicators for evaluating the quality of thermal spray coatings, which directly affects the service safety and life of equipment components. Since the coating is essentially formed by a large number of sprayed particles heated by a heat source, which is formed by high kinetic energy impacting on the substrate and being layered and stacked, it is impossible to form a micro-melting pool or effective elemental diffusion at the interface of the substrate. The coating/substrate interface is usually based on mechanical bonding, and the metallurgical bonding is relatively small. The effects of roughening pretreatment, in-situ elemental diffusion and remelting post-treatment on the surface of the substrate are reviewed. The effects of different treatment processes on the mechanical and metallurgical bonding mechanism of the coating/substrate interface are reviewed in detail. The results show that the roughened matrix can increase the mechanical bonding degree of interface anchoring, fitting and occlusion, increase the wettability of the droplet and the surface of the substrate, reduce the interface crack and thermal stress, and adjust the flight characteristics of the particles (including speed, molten state, phase composition, geometric structure, spatial distribution, etc.) and the surface state of the substrate (temperature, chemical composition, etc.). Reducing the solidification speed after impacting the substrate and promoting the expansion of interface elements can facilitate the formation of micro-metallurgy Combination. In-situ laser-assisted spraying and various remelting post-treatment techniques can further promote the thorough mixing of components in the coating, eliminate structural defects such as microcracks and pores, regulate overall thermal stress, and improve coating bonding strength by introducing a heat source.
