Thermal spray deposits can be described by several characteristics including the porosity, the fraction of unmolten particles and the microhardness. These physical and structural characteristics are general and little quantitative information is available to fully describe the microstructure of such deposits. Stereological analysis is one of the microscopic methods which provides quantitative relationships. Hence, it allows a better understanding of correlations between spray parameters and deposit microstructure. Stereology, in the most strict sense, is able to describe a 3-D space from 2-D sections through solid bodies. The aim of this paper is to review the numerical formulations of methods that can be applied on 2-D cross-sections of thermal spray deposits. A historical perspective of several approaches is given, and two methods (i.e., DeHoff`s and Cruz-Orive`s protocols) are detailed.
