In order to improve the adhesion of 75 mass Cr Fe alloy plasma spray coatings, which provide sulfide corrosion resistance for the inner surface of NAS battery high temperature type Al cylinders, the Al substrate temperature and the flattering behavior of the plasma spray particles were studied. Also, experiments were conducted to study how changes in the preheating temperature of the Al cylinder affected the spray coating's adhesion. The splat morphology of the spray particles changed significantly in relation to the preheating temperature of the Al substrate, from splash shaped to disk shaped as the preheating temperature increased. It was especially evident that the splat morphology of the particles changed sharply at over 433 K, forming disk shaped with excellent adhesion splats to the substrate. In addition, as the preheating temperature was increased, fewer coating defects such as blisters and peeling were seen on the spray coating. A good correlation was found between the flatness of the spray particles and the adhesion of the coating formed by changing the preheating temperature of the Al cylinder. When the preheating temperature was set at over 433 K, coating with good adhesion were formed. It was therefore shown that by studying the flattening behavior of the plasma spray particles, could be found an effective method for improving the adhesion of plasma spray coating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
