Compared with the atmosphere plasma spraying (APS), low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) has been widely used due to deposit a specific and unique coating. A new low pressure thermal spraying plasma torch was designed according to the plasma spray characteristic in the low pressure environment. The plasma jet characteristic and the coatings microstructure were analyzed. In this study, Kundsen number has a great effect on the heat transfer of feedstock powder. With the increase of current, the plasma torch efficiency will decrease. A equiaxed microstructure of 316L coatings were deposited.

MoB/CoCr, a novel material for thermal spraying, with high durability is used to resist erosion by molten Al-12.07wt.%Si alloy. The durability of the MoB/CoCr coating prepared by low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) has been investigated using a molten-metal immersion tester. The test revealed that the MoB/CoCr coating has much higher durability without dissolution in the molten Al-12.07wt.%Si alloy. Little change of crystal structure, mainly composed of ternary borides of Co2MoB2 and CoMoB, is observed after the immersion test, suggesting that the ternary borides have much higher durability.

To protect various gas turbine components against high temperature in the hot sections of power generation plants and aircraft engines, thermal barrier coatings (TBC’s) have been developed and widely used. Conventional TBC’s consist of a MCrAlY (M: Ni, Co, NiCo, etc,) bond coating for oxidation resistance and a ceramic top coating for thermal insulation. High quality coatings of MCrAlYs have been produced mostly by low pressure plasma spraying but other more economical processes are also used depending on the operating conditions of the component to be coated. In this study, CoNiCrAlY powders were deposited on Inconel 718 substrate with three types spraying system, i.e., low pressure plasma spraying, high velocity oxy-fuel spraying, and atmosphere plasma spraying. Specimens were isothermally tested for up to 100 h in air at 1373 K. Mass gain of the coatings was measured. Microstructure of the coating cross sections and the surface oxides were observed with SEM. To identify the crystal structure of the formed oxides, the specimens were analyzed by XRD from the surface.
