Abstract:Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is an interesting technique to obtain nanostructured coatings due to its versatility, simplicity and relatively low cost. However, nanometric powders can not be fed into the plume using conventional feeding systems, due to their low mass and poor flowability, and must be adequately reconstituted into sprayable micrometric agglomerates.In this work, Al 2 O 3 -13wt%TiO 2 nanostructured and submicron-nanostructured powders were deposited using APS. The feedstocks were obtained by… Show more
“…This is particularly interesting for alumina suspension due to the intrinsic difficulties associated with the preparation of concentrated nanoparticle suspensions of alumina as reported elsewhere [11]. The relationship between these improved agglomerate feedstock characteristics and the final coating properties has been scarcely treated in the literature [10]. In this respect, we have also recently reported improved photocatalytic activity in APS TiO 2 coatings when using a mixture of nano and submicrometric particles in the spray-dried feedstock.…”

“…The increased wear resistance of coatings obtained from nanostructured feedstocks in comparison with conventional (obtained from micrometric powders) coatings has been extensively reported in the recent literature [10,16,18,21]. The reasons showed in the literature for explaining this behaviour are as follows: the toughening contribution of the partially molten nanostructured zones [18,23,24] (not seen in this work), a more homogeneous TiO 2 distribution inside the splats leading to higher splat bonding strength [5,16] and the role of different additives such as CeO 2 and ZrO 2 added to the composition [25].…”

“…submicronnano sized particles. The use of a bimodal distribution of submicron-nano particles, comprising the precursor suspension of the spray-dried powder, can give rise to significant benefits during the suspension processing, i.e higher solids content and lower viscosity leading to better properties in the resulting feedstock agglomerates, such as higher agglomerate bulk density and improved powder flowability [9,10]. This is particularly interesting for alumina suspension due to the intrinsic difficulties associated with the preparation of concentrated nanoparticle suspensions of alumina as reported elsewhere [11].…”

“…Hausner ratio represents a method to estimate the flowability-cohesiveness of a given powder. Due to its simplicity HR has been extensively used to characterise APS feedstocks [16,17]. HR is defined as the quotient of the tapped density to the bulk (or poured) density of the powder.…”
The work addresses the effect of the particle size of a bioactive glass feedstock on the processing and microstructure of the resulting coatings obtained by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). It was observed that the reduction of particle size negatively affects the flowability of the powder. In addition the thermal behaviour (weight losses, glass transitions, crystallisations, etc) also depended on the particle size of the glass powder.No coating was obtained with the coarser fractions (higher than 200 µm) due to their low melting degree in the plasma. For the intermediate fractions (200 to 63 µm) coatings were obtained but insufficient particle melting was produced. On the contrary, the finest fraction (<63 µm) needed a fluidiser which enabled the samples to be sprayed.
“…La sección transversal de los recubrimientos se observó mediante micrografías MEB y se determinó el porcentaje de área de poros y zonas infundidas mediante análisis de imagen a partir de 10 micrografías MEB a 500x (15).

INTRODUCCIÓNLos recubrimientos de barrera térmica (thermal barrier coatings o TBC) tienen la finalidad de proteger sustratos metálicos de las altas temperaturas formándose un gradiente de temperatura tal que el sustrato permanezca a una temperatura menor que su temperatura de servicio. El material convencional del que está constituida la capa cerámica de las barreras térmicas es la circona estabilizada con itria (YSZ) debido a su baja conductividad térmica y buenas propiedades mecánicas a altas temperaturas (1).Una de las técnicas más comunes para obtener una TBC es la proyección térmica por plasma atmosférico (atmospheric plasma spraying o APS) debido a su flexibilidad de operación y relativo bajo coste (2). Esta técnica consiste en inyectar un polvo en el interior del plasma donde el material es fundido y acelerado hasta impactar con el sustrato formándose una estructura laminar por gotas fundidas y entre ellas pueden quedar numerosos defectos como poros, grietas, infundidos o incluso gotas satélite formadas por salpicaduras debido a la excesiva velocidad de impacto (3,4).En los últimos años, el empleo de nanopartículas en la obtención de recubrimientos se ha incrementado debido a la mejora que se produce en algunas propiedades (5). En el caso de En el presente trabajo se ha estudiado la influencia de cada uno de los parámetros de la proyección térmica por plasma atmosférico (atmospheric plasma spraying, APS) en la deposición de dos polvos comerciales de YSZ, uno convencional y otro nanoestructurado. En primer lugar se ha estudiado cómo afecta la variabilidad de los diferentes parámetros en el comportamiento de las partículas durante la proyección. Para tal fin, se ha utilizado un sensor que permite determinar la temperatura y la velocidad de las partículas en el interior del plasma. Una vez conocido cómo influyen los parámetros de proyección se han depositado ambos polvos sobre sustratos de acero inoxidable mediante APS modificando aquellos parámetros con un mayor impacto en el comportamiento de las partículas. Estos recubrimientos han sido caracterizados y se ha analizado la influencia del comportamiento de las partículas durante la proyección en la microestructura y propiedades del recubrimiento final. En este trabajo se concluye que la variación de los parámetros de proyección afecta en la velocidad y temperatura de las partículas en el interior del plasma y este comportamiento influye a su vez, y de forma diferente al emplear los distintos polvos (micro-y nanoesctructurado) en las características de los recubrimientos finales.
