An alumina coating containing 1 wt.% graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) is deposited for the first time by suspension high velocity oxy-fuel (SHVOF) thermal spraying – an emerging coating deposition technique. Raman spectroscopy shows the GNPs survive the... Read More about Alumina-graphene nanocomposite coatings fabricated by suspension high velocity oxy-fuel thermal spraying for ultra-low-wear.
