Abstract Plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings have been widely used in friction and wear protection of mechanical parts. In this paper, the nanostructured Al2O3–13 wt% TiO2 coatings were prepared by high-efficiency supersonic plasma spraying (HESP) and atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), respectively. The surface and section morphology of the coatings were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phase composition of the coatings was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The dry sliding friction properties of the coatings were tested on UMT-3 friction and wear testing machine. The results show that after plasma spraying, a large amount of γ-Al2O3 phase appears, while the TiO2 phase almost disappears in the coatings; compared with APS, the coatings sprayed by HESP have fewer defects and better coating quality; under dry friction condition, the steady-state friction coefficient of the coatings sprayed by HESP and APS all decreases with the increase of load, and the wear volume all increases with the increase of load. When the load is more than 40 N, wear volume of the coatings sprayed by APS is basically twice that of HESP; the wear mechanism of the coatings sprayed by HESP is the laminar cracking, peeling off and the adhesive wear.

In this paper, the microstructure of nanostructured zirconia (ZrO2) based coating fabricated by newly developed process, high efficiency supersonic atmospheric plasma spraying (SAPS), is studied. The velocity and surface temperature of in-flight particles during spraying were monitored by on-line system and the microstructure and phase composition of the as-sprayed coating was characterized with SEM, TEM and XRD. Meanwhile, the bonding strength between the top coating and bond coating was measured. The results showed the average in-flight velocity of YSZ particles in SAPS was about 430m/s, which was much higher than that of conventional atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The as-sprayed coating was composed of well-adhered fine lamellar structures with thickness of 1-4μm. The desirable structure was attributed to higher impact velocity of in-flight particles during SAPS process, resulting in the improvement of flattening degree of molten particles. Meanwhile, the SAPS-YSZ coating exhibited a bimodal distribution with small grains (30-50nm) and large grains (60-110nm), the latter was the main microstructure of the coating. In addition, it was found that the monoclinic zirconia existing in the original powders transformed into tetragonal phase after plasma spraying and the bonding strength of as-sprayed coating was as high as 46±3MPa. The high efficiency supersonic plasma spray, which offers some unique advantages over the conventional plasma spraying process, is expected to be potentially used to deposit a wide variety of nanostructured coatings at lower cost.

Ceramic coatings are applied on metals to prevent them from oxidation and corrosion at room as well as elevated temperatures. The service environment, mechanisms of protection, chemical and mechanical compatibility, application method, control of coating quality and ability of the coating to be repaired are the factors that need to be considered while selecting the required coating. The coatings based on oxide materials provides high degree of thermal insulation and protection against oxidation at high temperatures for the underlying substrate materials. These coatings are usually applied by the flame or plasma spraying methods. The surface cleanliness needs to be ensured before spraying. Abrasive blasting can be used to provide the required surface roughness for good adhesion between the substrate and the coating. A pre bond coat like Nickel Chromium can be applied on to the substrate material before spraying the oxide coating to avoid chances of poor adhesion between the oxide coating and the metallic substrate. Plasma spraying produces oxide coatings of greater density, higher hardness, and smooth surface finish than that of the flame spraying process Inert gas is often used for generation of plasma gas so as to avoid the oxidation of the substrate material. The work focuses to develop, characterize and optimize the parameters used in Al2O3 coating on transition stainless steel substrate material for minimizing the wear rate and maximizing the leak tightness using plasma spray process. The experiment is designed using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. The parameters that are to be optimized are plasma voltage, spraying distance and the cooling jet pressure. The characterization techniques includes micro-hardness and porosity tests followed by Grey relational analysis of the results

The article presents results of the preliminary research of mechanical properties of flame-sprayed aluminum coatings reinforced with carbon materials made on the construction steel S235J0 substrate. For reinforcement the following carbon materials were used: carbon nanotubes Nanocyl NC 7000 (0.5 wt.% and 1 wt.%) and carburite (0.5 wt.%). The properties evaluation was made using metallographic macroscope and microscope, chemical composition, microhardness, abrasion and erosion resistance studies. The obtained results were compared with aluminum powder coatings (EN AW 1000 series). It was proved that the flame spraying of aluminum coatings reinforced with particles of carbonaceous materials can be an effective alternative for laser cladding technology. The preliminary test results will be successively extended by further experiments to contribute in the near future to develop innovative technologies, that can be implemented in the automotive industry for production of components with high strength, wear resistance, good thermal conductivity and low density, such as brake shoes, cylinder liners, piston rings and gears.
