Ceramic Al2O3-ZrO2-SiO2 coatings with near eutectic composition were plasma sprayed using hybrid water stabilized plasma torch (WSP-H). The as-sprayed coatings possessed fully amorphous microstructure which can be transformed to nanocrystalline by further heat treatment. The amorphous/crystalline content ratio and the crystallite sizes can be controlled by a specific choice of heat treatment conditions, subsequently leading to significant changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings, such as hardness or wear resistance. In this study, two advanced methods of surface heat treatment were realized by plasma jet or by high energy laser heating. As opposed to the traditional furnace treatments, inducing homogeneous changes throughout the material, both approaches lead to a formation of gradient microstructure within the coatings; from dominantly amorphous at the substrate–coating interface vicinity to fully nanocrystalline near its surface. The processes can also be applied for large-scale applications and do not induce detrimental changes to the underlying substrate materials. The respective mechanical response was evaluated by measuring coating hardness profile and wear resistance. For some of the heat treatment conditions, an increase in the coating microhardness by factor up to 1.8 was observed, as well as improvement of wear resistance behaviour up to 6.5 times. The phase composition changes were analysed by X-ray diffraction and the microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy.

Cu nanoporous foams are promising candidates for use as an anode material for advanced lithium ion batteries. In this study, Cu nanofoam was processed from pack-cemented bulk material via dealloying. In the as-processed Cu nanofoam, the average ligament size was ~105 nm. The hardness in this initial state was ~2 MPa, and numerous cracks were observed in the indentation pattern obtained after hardness testing, thus indicating the low mechanical strength of the material. Annealing for 6 h under an Ar atmosphere at 400 °C was shown to result in crystalline coarsening and a reduction in the probability of twin faulting in the ligaments. Simultaneously, the junctions of the ligaments became stronger and hence more difficult to crack. This study demonstrates that moderate heat treatment under Ar can improve the resistance against crack propagation in Cu nanofoam without a large change in the ligament size and the surface oxide content, which can thus influence the electrochemical performance of the material in battery applications.
