Sintering of Fine Particles in Suspension Plasma Sprayed Coatings

Sintering of Fine Particles in Suspension Plasma Sprayed Coatings

Suspension plasma spraying is a process that enables the production of finely grained nanometric or submicrometric coatings. The suspensions are formulated with the use of fine powder particles in water or alcohol with some additives. Subsequently, the suspension is injected into plasma jet and the liquid additives evaporate. The remaining fine solids are molten and subsequently agglomerate or ...

Failure analysis of suspension plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings

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...

Performance Testing of Suspension Plasma Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings Produced with Varied Suspension Parameters

Suspension plasma spraying has become an emerging technology for the production of thermal barrier coatings for the gas turbine industry. Presently, though commercial systems for coating production are available, coatings remain in the development stage. Suitable suspension parameters for coating production remain an outstanding question and the influence of suspension properties on the final c...

Effect of TiO2 addition on the microstructure and nanomechanical properties of Al2O3 Suspension Plasma Sprayed coatings

Alumina-titania coatings are widely used in industry for wear, abrasion or corrosion protection components. Such layers are commonly deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using powder as feedstock. In this study, both Al2O3 and Al2O3-13 wt% TiO2 coatings were deposited on austenitic stainless steel coupons by suspension plasma spraying (SPS). Two commercial suspensions of nanosized Al2...
