Abstract This paper examines the potential of thermal spray coatings for manufacturing and repairing twin-screw rotors. The coatings evaluated were produced by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). Tests show that 7% yttria stabilized zirconia (ZrO27Y2O3) coatings provide sufficient run-in characteristics and corrosion resistance. The coatings, along with a NiCrAl bond coat, were applied to various substrate materials.

Electrolyte layers for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) consisting typically of yttria-stabilized zirconia were prepared using atmospheric plasma spraying in a first step and sintered in a second one. The influence of particle size on sintering kinetics and microstructure development was analyzed by comparison of nanostructured and conventional YSZ layers. Sintering of free-standing coatings differ significantly from that of coatings on substrates.

Fe-based amorphous coating was prepared on stainless steel substrates by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using Fe-based amorphous powder as feedstock. Microstructures of the coating were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion behavior of coating and stainless steel were evaluated respectively in 3.5% NaCl, 10% NaOH and 1 mol/L H2SO4 aqueous solutions by electrochemical workstation. The results indicated that the coating was composed of most amorphous phase and some Fe-Cr crystalline phase. The coating exhibited the better corrosion resistance in H2SO4 solution, while the worse in NaOH.

Abstract This paper evaluates a wide range of thermal spray coatings for potential use lining cylinder bores in aluminum engines. Coatings were applied by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) and high-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) techniques. More than a dozen coating materials were screened, including ceramics, cermets, and metals. The paper describes the equipment and procedures used in the investigation and assesses the resulting coatings based on their microstructure, hardness, friction coefficient, wear resistance, bonding strength, and residual stress.

High-entropy alloy coatings (HEAC) exhibit good frictional wear and corrosion resistances, which are of importance for structure materials. In this study, the microstructure, surface morphology, hardness, frictional wear and corrosion resistance of an AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy coating synthesized by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) were investigated. The frictional wear and corrosion resistance of the coating are simultaneously improved with an increase of the power of APS. The influence of the APS process on the microstructure and mechanical behavior is elucidated. The mechanisms of frictional wear and corrosion behavior of the AlCoCrFeNi HEAC are discussed in detail.

Enhancing the properties of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) by doping with rare earth elements has been a hot topic for a while. La2O3 and Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 (La-YSZ) TBCs and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) TBCs were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), and the comprehensive effects of La3+ on the microstructure and property were investigated. The thermal conductivity and microstructure were investigated and were compared with YSZ. The recrystallized fraction components of all TBCs were quantified. It is clearly found that the component of “recrystallized” and “deformed” grains for La-YSZ TBCs is much higher than that for YSZ TBCs. This could be due to La3+ doping enlarging the lattice parameter of YSZ and thus increasing the melting index, which in turns leads to the smaller grain size of La-YSZ TBCs. As a result, the thermal conductivities of La-YSZ TBCs were distinctly lower than those of YSZ TBCs.
