The present study estimated the cracking phenomenon in as-plasma-sprayed hydroxylapatite coatings (HACs) after they were being subjected to the severe cutting conditions in the direction perpendicular to the coating/substrate interface. In order to evaluate the effects of substrate preheating on the occurrence of micro-cracks, the HACs were deposited at different initial substrate temperatures (TS = 20, 100 and 200?C). The changes in phase composition and HA splat morphology with TS were observed and were correlated with the cracking occurrence. The results showed that severe cutting conditions introduced a localized cracking in the regions of HACs dominantly attributed to the brittle hydroxyl-deficient amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) phase. This effect was particularly observable in the HACs deposited without preheating of substrate. On the other hand, the preheating of substrate reduced the presence of micro-cracks and caused insignificant changes in the average local phase composition. In HACs deposited with preheating of substrate, the HA splats (of which HACs are composed) were thinner and recrystallized HA regions seemed smaller in size and more evenly distributed. These results implied potentially important roles of the HA splat formation mechanism on the distribution of ACP and recrystallized HA regions in the as-plasma-sprayed HACs and the cracking resistance of HACs.

In this work, three cast iron coatings were produced by atmospheric plasma spraying. During spraying, the surface temperature of three coatings (substrate temperature) was controlled to be averagely 50oC, 180oC and 240oC by changing the processing parameters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to analyze the phase structure of the starting powder and the coatings. The results showed that the powder was mainly composed of (Fe,Cr)7C3 and martensite and both the spraying processing and the substrate temperature exerted no influence on coating phase structure. An optical microscope (OM) was used to characterize the microstructure of the cross-section and surface of the coatings. It was found that the cross sectional hardness increased with the increase of the substrate temperature due to the improvement in interlamellar bonding.

Fe-C-W-Cr-Ni alloy powder in diameter of 32-53 μm made by argon atomization was low-pressure plasma sprayed to produce high Cr-Ni cast iron base deposits with finely dispersed tungsten carbide particles. The as-sprayed deposit produced on a non-cooled substrate was composed of γFe, αFe and carbide. The fine precipitates in the as-sprayed deposit were carbide. With increasing heat treatment temperature up to 1273 K, the carbide particles coarsened. The as-sprayed deposit produced on a non-cooled substrate had higher hardness than the heat-treated deposits. The wear resistance of the as-sprayed deposit produced on a non-cooled substrate was lower than that of heat-treated deposits. The as-sprayed deposit produced on a non-cooled substrate and heat-treated deposits had higher wear resistance than commercial stainless steel.

Abstract A model for oxidation of molybdenum particles during plasma spray deposition is developed. The diffusion of metal an-ions or oxygen cat-ions through a thin oxidized film, chemical reactions on the surface, and diffusion of oxidant in gas phase are considered as possible rate-controlling mechanisms with controlling parameters as the temperature of the particle surface, and local oxygen concentration and flow field surrounding the particle. The deposition of molten particle and its rapid solidification and deformation is treated using a Madejski-type model, in which the mechanical energy conservation equation is solved to determine the splat deformation and one-dimensional heat conduction equation with phase change is solved to predict the solidification and temperature evolution. Calculations are performed for a single molybdenum particle sprayed under the Sulzer Metco-9MB spraying conditions. Results show that the mechanism that controls the oxidation of this droplet is the diffusion of metal/oxygen ions through a very thin oxide film. A higher substrate temperature results in a larger rate of oxidation at the splat surface, and hence, a larger oxygen content in the coating layer. Compared to the oxidation of droplet during m-flight, the oxidation during deposition is not weak and can become dominant at high substrate temperatures.

AbstractPlasma-sprayed cast iron splats were deposited onto polished aluminum substrates preheated to different temperatures ranging from 25°C to 250°C. The morphology of single splat was observed by a field emission scanning electron microscope. Quantitative characterization methods, including fractal dimension (FD) and circularity analyses of the splat profile, were employed to identify the difference in morphology of the splats with the change of the substrate temperature. The results showed that the substrate temperature has a significant effect on the spreading of molten droplets and the morphology of resultant splats through changing the solidification rate of the droplets. With the increment of substrate temperature, the homogeneous and sufficient spreading of the droplets resulted from low solidification rate reduces the splashing of the droplets. In addition, the evaporation of adsorbed moisture on the substrate improves the wettability between the spreading droplet and the substrate, then benefits the homogeneous spreading of the molten droplet. As a result, a distinct decline in the FD value was observed. It was also suggested that the FD analysis could be used to characterize the morphology of the splat more effectively while the circularity method was heavily dependent on the area of the splat.

Alumina was coated on Ti6Al4V alloy by atmospheric plasma spraying. Surface and cross sectional analysis of the coating by SEM showed that diameter and thickness of splat was greatly influenced by arc current and stand-off distance. In turn, this variation in splat morphology had effect on evolution of α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 phases as revealed by XRD. Higher proportion of required γ-Al2O3 phase was achieved at stand-off distance of 130 mm and arc current of 500A.
