This study focused on the numerical simulation of distribution residual stress in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings prepared with atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). We particularly investigated around interface between top coat and bond coat. During thermal spray deposition, droplets particles deposit substrate a complex manner, causing waviness non-uniform distribution. Therefore, is a...

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...

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, the crystallinity...

Modern gas turbine hot sections need to be protected from elevated temperature and damaging environments. This protection starts as a typically two layer coating system, the base layer or bond coat (BC) acts as a corrosion barrier and a kind of buffer for the thermal mismatch between the base material and the second top thermally protective layer or Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC). The BC is norm...

titanium and its alloy are known as important load-bearing biomaterials. the major drawbacks of these metals are fibrous formation and low corrosion rate after implantation. the surface modification of biomedical implants through various methods such as plasma spray improves their osseointegration and clinical lifetime. different materials have been already used as coatings on biomedical implan...

blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with high quality and safety due to the short shelf life of 3-5 days as well as possible bacterial and viral contaminations. for a variety of reasons, many europeans have changed their methods of component production from whole blood using the north american standard platelet-rich plasma method to the buf...

Abstract MCrAlX powder compositions (M = Ni,Co and X Y, Hf, Si or combination) are often thermally sprayed via vacuum plasma spray (VPS), low pressure (LPPS) high velocity oxy-fuel to produce temperature oxidation hot corrosion resistant bond coats for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Cold technology is currently considered as a promising alternative the traditional solutions, having advantage ...

Local residual stress in thermally grown oxide (TGO) layers is the primary cause of failure thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, especially TBCs prepared by air plasma spray (APS) with a highly irregular TGO. Herein, distribution and evolution TGO layer APS were investigated as function oxidation time. The was measured from cross-sectional micrographs converted to actual inside coatings befor...
