In this paper Al2O3 + 13 wt% TiO2 ceramic coatings manufactured by Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) have been investigated. The commercial feedstock materials, Metco 6221 (top coat) and Amdry 4535 (bond coat) have been deposited on stainless steel coupons. The main goal of researches was to determine the influence of critical plasma spray parameters (CPSP) on structure and properties of the coatings. In present studies, the electrical power was a variable parameter. Coatings have been characterized by in the terms of microstructure, topography, bond strength adhesion, fracture toughness and wear resistance. As a result, it was observed, that coatings sprayed with higher value of the electrical power exhibit higher mechanical properties due to better cohesion as well as higher melting degree.

Abstract Results are presented of a project analysing the relationship between the production parameters of plasma sprayed self-lubricating Cr2O3-CaF2 coatings and their structural, wear and lubricating properties. The production method consists of a preparation step where a powder blend of the matrix material (Cr203) and solid lubricant (CaF2) is agglomerated, followed by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) of the agglomerates. Selection of the most appropriate agglomeration and plasma spray parameters as well as the microstructure of the coatings will be discussed.

Abradable coatings are widely used within aeroengines. These materials are applied onto the inner surface of compressor and turbine shroud sections using thermal spray processes, coating the periphery of the blade rotation path. The functionality of an abradable seal is to wear preferentially when rotating blades come into contact with it, while minimizing the over-tip clearance, and improving the overall efficiency of the engine. This study is concerned with the relationships between the microstructure and mechanical properties of atmospheric plasma sprayed AlSi-Polyester composite coatings.

Tungsten carbide-cobalt powders (WC-17wt% Co) were plasma sprayed by a water-stabilized system WSP. Experiments with variable feeding distances and spray distances were carried out. Thinner coatings were deposited on carbon steel substrates and thicker coatings on stainless steel substrates to compare different cooling conditions. Basic characterization of coatings was done by XRD, SEM, and light microscopy plus image analysis. Microhardness was measured on polished cross-sections. The main focus of investigation was resistance against wear in dry as well as wet conditions. The appropriate tests were performed with set-ups based on ASTM G65 and G75, respectively. The influence of spray parameters onto coating wear performance was observed. The results of mechanical tests were discussed in connection with changes of phase composition and with the quality of the coating's microstructure. The results show that for obtaining the best possible WC-17Co coating with WSP process, from the viewpoint of wear resistance, the desired parameters combination is long feeding distance combined with short spray distance.

One of the approaches to increase the thermic efficiency of aerospace engines is the application of abradable coatings enabling minimization and control of the clearance between the stator and the rotating blades tips. The main purpose of this contribution is to define the role of different technological parameters utilized for atmospheric plasma spraying of AlSi-polyester coating on its resulting microstructure. Deposition of abradable coatings on the real engine parts is mostly dependent on spraying stand-off distance and on spraying angle. These two parameters influence not only the coating microstructure but also the deposition efficiency itself, which is directly connected with economical aspects of the coating production. The set of experimental samples with atmospheric plasma sprayed Ni-based bond coat and two in chemical composition same initial powders delivered from different powder manufacturers were used to spray thick AlSi-polymer top coats with different spraying stand-off distances and angles. Subsequently some of the samples were also heat treated to burn-out the polymer phase from the coating microstructure. The Rockwell HR15Y hardness was measured on all samples and the microstructure and coating thickness were evaluated by means of light microscopy and image analysis methods.

The Al2O3 + TiO2 coatings are of the interest of surface technology and tribology due to their good wear resistance and enhanced toughness comparing to pure Al2O3 coatings. However, the detailed effect of the used feedstock powder, is often neglected. Here, this work focuses on the deposition of Al2O3 + 13 wt % TiO2 coatings by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) method as well as on their microstructure, phase composition and selected mechanical properties, in the reference to the route of the powder feedstock preparation. The commercial powder Metco 6221 in agglomerated and sintered form was used as a feedstock material during spraying, due to the fact that, so far, sintered or cladded powders are the most studied ones. The 2k + 1 spray experiment allowed to evaluate the influence of two variables, namely spray distance and torch linear velocity, on the coating microstructure. Afterwards, the coating adhesion was measured by the means of pull-off test. The correlations between Vickers microhardness, fracture toughness (Kc) as well as the coating morphology and phase composition were investigated. Finally, the dry sliding wear resistance was studied by using Ball-on-Disc method.
