Plasma spraying and characterization of chromium carbide – nickel chromium coatings

Chromium carbide – nickel chromium powder Cr3C2-25wt.NiCr was plasma sprayed by a water-stabilized system WSP®. A series of experiments with variable feeding distance was carried out. Basic characterization of coatings was done by XRD, SEM and light microscopy plus image analysis. Microhardness was measured on polished cross sections. The main focus of investigation was on resistances against w...

Bone Tissue Response to Plasma Sprayed Hydroxyapatite Coatings: An In Vivo Study on Rabbit Femoral Condyles

     In this study, hydroxyapatite was coated on titanium substrates by plasma spraying process. A well-known porous and lamellar microstructure was found in the lateral a...

Analytically Modeling of In Vitro Calcium Dissolution of Plasma- Sprayed Hydroxyapatite Coatings

      The in vitro dissolution of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (PHA) coatings with different characteristics, produced by various spraying conditions, in a Tris-buffered solution at pH 7.4 was experimentally studied through the measurement of calcium ions release with Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and then modeled. Three coating characteristics, th...

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 ...
