Development of New TBC Coating System by Water Plasma Spraying and HVOF

Development of APS MCrAlY Dense Bond Coats

The objective of this study was to mimic the microstructure of MCrAlY coatings sprayed using HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) processes by using an Air Plasma Spray (APS) process in order to improve oxidation and spallation life of MCrAlY APS coatings. Figure 1 shows the typical microstructures obtained when spraying bond coats using the (a) HVOF process, and (b) the APS process. The microstructur...

Microstructure and Property of Zr-Based Metallic Glass Coating Formed by Gas Tunnel Type Plasma Spraying

Metallic glass has excellent functions such as high strength and high corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is one of the most attractive materials, and various developmental research works have been conducted by many researchers. However, the metallic glass material is expensive to use, and a composite material is preferred for the industrial application. Thermal spraying method is one of potent...

HVOF spraying of nanostructured hydroxyapatite for biomedical applications

A nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HA) feedstock was thermally sprayed on Ti–6Al–4V substrates via high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF process). The particle temperature and velocity for the HA particles in the HVOF jet were monitored during spraying and found to be 1826± 346 ◦C and 638± 82 m/s, respectively. The bioactivity of the coating was investigated in a simulated physiological environment, as an...
