Abstract: Thermal spraying is currently one of the most rapidly developing methods of coating deposition. A wide array of materials as well as spraying techniques are available within this domain. Therefore, the area of application covers all the branches of industry where high quality criteria are obligatory. In the article, the author discusses main axes of development, especially in the area of automotive and aeronautical industry. Next, he focuses on new possibilities which arouse with the launch of cold spray systems. Finally, new prospects of applications for thermal spraying coatings obtained from nanocrystalline structured materials are presented.
