The application of tripod polishing and focused ion beam milling to the TEM specimen preparation of HVOF thermally sprayed coatings

The microstructure of high velocity oxy fuel thermally sprayed coatings is highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous. Tripod polishing has enabled the preparation of samples with up to 0.5mm diameter electron transparent areas, where a statistically significant number of features could be examined. Conve...
