APS | Stable spraying process. The matrix is less heated and the | High porosity. Metal particles would be |
| sample is not easy to deform | seriously oxidized during spraying |
LPPS/VPS | Low porosity. Effectively prevent oxidation of | Need low vacuum/vacuum environment |
| metal particles during spraying | and high cost |
HVOF/HVAF | Low spraying temperature and fast particle flight speed. | Large fuel consumption and |
| The coating has high density and low oxygen content | relatively high cost |
EB-PVD | Good uniformity, high density and less defects | The equipment is expensive and |
| | complex to operate |
AIP | High density, fast deposition rate, relatively simple | The coating is easy to have large |
| equipment and low cost | particle pollution |
