The thesis presents thermal deposition methods, their functional principles, advantages and range of applications. It is divided into four sections. In the first section, after a brief introduction, the motivation and goals of the thesis are stated. In the second section, individual thermal spray processes are presented, including the history of their origins, differences between them and the influence of the individual methods and deposition parameters on the properties of the final coatings. Advantages and disadvantages compared to other surface treatment methods are also discussed here. In a greater detail, the second section then focuses on two methods that are the focal points of the author’s research, atmospheric plasma spray and cold kinetic spray. The former is a widespread, flexible method, described from the start of the plasma generation to the final properties of the output materials. The second is a novel method and its - quite different - principles of operation are also presented along with its major advantages. The section ends with a list of applications of these technologies, for example also for 3D printing. The third section presents a discussion on the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two methods. In the last part, eight of the author's publications are attached to illustrate his own contribution to the current state of knowledge, together with short descriptions of the contribution of each of these outputs.
