Abstract This study assesses the quality of flame-sprayed alumina coatings produced from recently developed alumina cord using argon and compressed air as atomizing gases. Coatings of different thicknesses were deposited on aluminum substrates and then analyzed using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and resistivity measurements. The coatings, particularly those sprayed with argon, had fine microstructure and higher surface and volume resistivity than flame-spray coatings made from alumina cord in the past. They were also found to have higher alpha phase content than plasma-sprayed coatings, regardless of the atomizing gas used. The effect of humidity and the possible formation of aluminum hydroxides are also addressed.

This paper describes the topographical implications of grit blasted surfaces on plasma sprayed alumina. The transition of the grit blasted surface from raw material to correctly blasted is described in terms of surface heights, height distribution, spacings and texture. The influence of embedded grit is shown to be significant. The individual particles of alumina impacting the surface are classified into two types, these being disc splats and splash splats. Their deposition relationships with regard to surface topography and adhesion is explained with reference to the two types of splat.

New method for characterization of coating microstructures and for evaluation of coating property by means of surface morphology has been proposed. In this paper, the distribution of shape and dimensions of splat was examined using quantitative analysis of scanning electron microscope images from the surface of spray pattern as well as the surface of coating. Results obtained in this study indicate that it is necessary to analyze the spray pattern as well as the surface morphology in order to estimate the coating property by means of the distribution of splat which composes the coating. Moreover, the splats, which are in the interface between the substrate and the coating, should have the same morphology as those of the coating surface. The relationship between splat morphology and the property of coatings was discussed.
