High resolution residual stress measurement on amorphous and crystalline plasma-sprayed single-splats

► Residual stress measured on micron-scale plasma sprayed single-splats. ► Measurements were performed on both amorphous and crystalline splats.. ► Tensile residual stress for NiAl, compressive stress for Al2O3 and Al2O3TiO2. ► Quenching stress component estimated for each type of splat. ► Intrinsic shear adhesion strength of Al2O3 splats was calculated..
