Enhancement and Validation of Diagnostic Systems for the Measurement of Particle Properties in High-Kinetic Thermal Spray Processes

Abstract In this study, two particle-tracking velocimetry systems, the Oseir HiWatch HR2 and the Oseir HiWatch CS2 were tested. The particle-sizing velocimetry results were then compared with corresponding particle characteristics obtained using a Tecnar Cold Spray Meter and a Tecnar Accuraspray 4.0 unit. In addition, particle size distributions measured by laser diffraction were included for validation.
