The Modified Almen Method (MAM) uses the deformation of test samples for measuring the residual stress and with small mathematical expenditure it yields the distribution in the coating. This paper presents the basic theory of MAM and the boundary conditions for using this method for the classification of thermal sprayed coatings with respect to the residual stress. The residual stress distribution of different HVOF coatings are shown in this work. Typical spray parameters are compared. The results are also compared with the ones calculated with other methods for the determination of the residual stress in thermal sprayed coatings.
