After coating, samples were maintained at 1273 K in air for different periods up to 3000 h. Morphological, microstructural and compositional analyses were performed in order to assess the high temperature oxidation resistance provided by the different spraying systems. HVOF technique provided bond coats with higher oxidation resistance compared to APS and VPS. %A Martina Di Ferdinando %A Alessio Fossati %A Alessandro Lavacchi %A Ugo Bardi %A Francesca Borgioli %A Claudia Borri %A Carlo Giolli %A Andrea Scrivani %K Thermal barrier coating; Thermal spray processing; Oxidation; Superalloy; Protective coating
