Abstract
A very simple outline of the engineering theory for the implementation of hypervelocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) and hypervelocity air fuel (HVAF) processes is presented. Several calculations show that a condition can be reached where the impact energy of these processes can be optimized to produce a new class of coatings termed “hypervelocity impact fusion” coatings. The microstructures of these coatings exhibit minimum oxidation and very good bonding to the substrate.
