Effect of oxidation post treatments on TiO2 coating manufactured using reactive very low-pressure plasma spraying (R-VLPPS)
Abstract TiO2 coatings manufactured using reactive very low-pressure plasma spraying (R-VLPPS) were analyzed in different regions related to their position compared to the plasma flame. For that, a screen was used in order to hide an area of the substrate from the direct plasma flux. The coating morphology changed from quasi lamellar structure to highly vapor structure and coatings exhibited obvious modifications in terms of phases and mechanical properties. The effect of oxidation post treatment on the as sprayed coating was then studied by selecting two methods: in situ oxidation post treatment and classical thermal treatment. The two post treatments provided an increase of the main rutil…
Evaluation of nano/submicro pores in suspension plasma sprayed YSZ coatings
Abstract Nano-submicro pores could considerably influence the coating performances and thus should be properly designed for the intended applications. However, it is challenging to characterize accurately such small pores in coatings. In this study, YSZ coatings were firstly manufactured by suspension plasma spray (SPS) and the nano-submicro pores in as-prepared coatings were investigated using Ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS). Afterwards, a multivariate analysis on the effect of five different process parameters was carried out. The two main results showed that: 1) the nano-submicro pores content in coatings has a negative correlation with suspension mass load and powder size, an…
Porous architecture and thermal properties of thermal barrier coatings deposited by suspension plasma spray
Abstract Besides the intrinsic low heat transfer capability of material, the thermal insulation property of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) also relies on their microstructures. For better understanding the relationship between process parameters, porous architecture, and thermal properties of coatings, YSZ coatings were firstly manufactured by suspension plasma spray (SPS). Afterwards their total porosities were characterized by using the technique of X-ray transmission, the nano/submicro pores in those coatings were detected with Ultra-Small Angle X-ray Scattering (USAXS), and the thermal properties of coatings were measured using the laser flash method. The results indicated that: i) the…
Numerical Reconstruction of Porous Architecture for Suspension Plasma Sprayed Coatings
Abstract The porous architecture of coatings has a significant influence on the coating performances and thus should be properly designed for the intended applications. For simulating the coating properties, it is necessary to determine the numerical representation of the coating microstructure. In this study, YSZ coatings were manufactured by suspension plasma spray (SPS). Afterwards, the porous architecture of as-prepared coatings was investigated by the combination of three techniques, imaging analysis, Ultra Small Angle X-ray Scattering (USAXS), and X-ray transmission. A microstructural model for reconstructing the porous architecture of the SPS coating was subsequently computed accordi…
