Metal sheet forming processes like deep drawing are applied in order to produce carriage parts in mass production. Therefore, forming tools are required that are well protected against wear. For such forming tools, wear resistant surfaces are, e.g., produced by thermal spraying of hard material coatings. The thermal spraying process itself is a highly transient thermo‐mechanical process. In order to gain a better understanding of the heat input and transfer during thermal spraying, a simulation framework for thermal spraying processes is presented. (© 2015 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
