description

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 rutile phase and a decrease of both the size and the contents of porosity simultaneously.
