Abstract
A method of forming a surface coating on a composite article may include applying a thermal spray to a tool surface of a tool in such a manner as to form a surface coating having a releasable bond with the tool surface. The method may further include applying composite material over the surface coating, curing the composite material to form a cured composite article, and removing the cured composite article from the tool in a manner that releases the surface coating from the tool surface and retains the surface coating with the cured composite article.
