Columnar Structure of the Thermal Barrier Ceramic Coatings of GTE Blades under Service Loads, *Russian Conference "New materials and technology"*, MATI, p. 57, Thermal Spraying is called a group of processes by means of that thin ceramic and ceramic metallic (cermet) coatings can be applied on a vast variety of materials, so called substrates. The goal is to reach considerably different characteristics on the surface of the component part regarding the resistance against abrasion and corrosion, the electrical conductivity and many more. This chapter intends to give an overview of the different processes, the processable feedstock materials, the different areas of application and new developments in the field of Thermal Spraying.
