Micrography of the thermal spray (TS) layer showing the different alloys, gray oxides and black voids. The Ni base TS alloy is of a yellow colour at the interface with the shaft substrate (in the left). The Cr base TS alloy appears white, similar to the shaft substrate. Longitudinal section of the shaft.
