Experimental Design and Optimization of Plasma Sprayed Coatings

Plasma Sprayed Bioceramic Coatings on Ti-Based Substrates: Methods for Investigation of Their Crystallographic Structures and Mechanical Properties

“…This in turn has brought the necessity of more precise evaluation and control of the micro-structure parameters and technological conditions during plasmaspraying. As a result, further improvement of the existing and development of new experimental and theoretical methods and models for prognosis, investigation and control of the structure formation processes, technological parameters and operational properties has been provoked (Azarmi et al, 2008;Chen et al, 1993;Fan et al, 2005;Iordanova & Forcey, 1997;Kuroda & Clyne, 1991;Liu et al, 2005;Mawdsley et al, 2001;Moreau et al, 2005;Parizi et al, 2007;Sampath et al, 2003;Sarikaya, 2005;Toma et al, 2003). The main aim of this general trend for research and investigation, observed at present, is optimisation of the plasma-spraying technology to achieve superior parameters of the deposited bioceramic coatings enabling their successful and reliable long-term utilisation in a wide range of biomedical applications.…”

“…New methods for non-destructive control, including statistical evaluation of the collected data, together with prognosis of the coating parameters as a function of the technological conditions have been offered as well (Zhu & Ding, 2000). Some work has already been done to characterise the following main dependencies that play an important role for successful performance of the discussed biomedical coatings (Azarmi et al, 2008;Boulos et al, 1993;Celik et al, 1999;Chen et al, 1993;Choi et al, 1998;Dyshlovenko et al, 2005;Fan et al, 2005;Gueorguiev et al, 2008aGueorguiev et al, , 2008cIordanova & Forcey, 1997;Khor et al, 2004;Kreye et al, 2007;Kuroda & Clyne, 1991;Leigh & Berndt, 1997;Li & Khor, 2002;Liu et al, 2005;Lugscheiber et al, 1993;Mawdsley et al, 2001;Montavon et al, 1997;Moreau et al, 2005;Neufuss et al, 2001;Ohmori & Li, 1991;Parizi et al, 2007;Sampath et al, 2003;Sarikaya, 2005;Srinivasan et al, 2006;Staia et al, 2001;Streibl et al, 2006;Toma et al, 2003;Tong et al, 1996;Wallace & Ilavsky, 1998;Zhu & Ding, 2000):…”

Synthesis of Al2O3/AlN composite powders by plasma processed Al2O3with various additives

“…Thermal plasma spraying techniques have been used for many years to produce layered coatings for many different applications. [1][2][3] Such coatings have been increasingly used in the automobile, aerospace, textile, biomedical, electrical, and optical industries to impart properties of wear resistance, thermal barrier, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and electrical insulation. [4][5][6] Although it was initially intended for coating purposes, plasma spraying has widened its scope to perform powder processing, which allows in situ production of ultrafine powders 7,8 and ceramic-matrix composite powders, 9 and opened up new approaches to material processing.…”
