Microstructure and Microwave Absorption Properties of Flame Sprayed Ceramic Coatings

In this research work, airplane grade aluminum alloy substrate was coated by Al2O3/ TiO2 ceramic coatings in two different compositions as 50:50 and 87:13 using Flame spraying technique. The surface & cross-sectional morphological characterizations of the Al2O3/ TiO2 powders and coatings were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microwave absorbing properties of coatings were ex...

Suspension Plasma Sprayed Titanium Oxide and Hydroxyapatite Coatings

The paper aims at development of TiO2, Ca5(PO4)3OH (hydroxyapatite, HA) and their multilayer coatings onto stainless steel, titanium and aluminum substrate using suspension plasma spraying. The total thickness of the coatings was in the range 10 to 150 μm. The suspension on the base of distilled water, ethanol and their mixtures was formulated with the use of fine commercial TiO2 pigment crysta...

Microstructure and Properties of Plasma Sprayed Nanostructural ZrO2 Coatings

Plasma sprayed zirconia deposits have been employed in wide applications for thermal protection. Recently, the use of nanostructural surface represents an alternative for improving the performance of these coatings. The present paper reviewed the works in this field at our research group, including synthesis of nanostructural ZrO2 powders, influence of spraying parameters on microstructure and ...
