Breaks in Thermal Spraying Processes

The detection of structural changes in time series from industrial processes monitoring is of great interest. We investigate the limits and possibilities of two recently developed methods, one for the off-line detection of changed volatilities [Wied et al., 2011] and one for the on-line detection of changes in the course of the time series [Borowski and Fried, 2011]. The investigation is carrie...

Splat Formation Mechanism in Thermal Spraying*

In order to understand the splat formation process of individual splat deposited by thermal spraying, commercially available Nickel powders with diameter of several tens micrometers were thermally sprayed onto mirror polished AISI304 substrate surface. The deposited splat shows transition phenomenon from splash type to disk one in flattening on collision onto substrate surface according to both...

Modelling for Thermal Control of Vacuum Plasma Spraying

Vacuum plasma spraying (VPS) is an industrial technique used to coat substrates with a wide range of materials for numerous applications. Historically, vacuum plasma spraying processes have been open-loop processes with, at most, closed-loop control of the spray parameters. Such processes would benefit from closed-loop control as the issues of process repeatability and coating quality could be ...

Plasma spraying of micro-composite thermal barrier coatings

The thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) by gas tunnel-type plasma spraying exhibited ceramic-composite features consisting of a host oxide matrix ceramic with an embedded second phase material. The densities of the composite TBC were found to be higher than those sprayed with 100wt% ZrO2 or Al2O3. In the coatings produced with powder mixtures of 50wt%, the embedded splats are found to have a relati...
