The article presents the results of a study on the exploitation properties of flame-sprayed ceramic coatings produced from an oxide ceramic material in the form of powder based on an aluminum oxide (Al2O3) matrix with an addition of 3 % titanium oxide (TiO2) and also on a zirconium oxide (ZrO2) matrix with 30 % of calcium oxide (CaO) on a substrate of unalloyed structural steel of grade S235JR. The buffer layer was produced from a metallic powder on the basis of Ni-Al-Mo. Plates with dimensions of (5 × 200 × 300) mm and also the front surfaces of f40 × 50 mm cylinders were flame-sprayed. The buffer coatings were produced using a RotoTec 80 torch and external specific coatings were produced with a CastoDyn DS 8000 torch. Investigations of the coating properties were based on metallography tests, a phase-composition research, a measurement of microhardness, a research of the coating adhesion to the substrate, the abrasive-wear resistance (acc. to ASTM G65 standard), the erosion-wear resistance (acc. to ASTM G76-95 standard) and a thermal-stroke study. The coatings were characterized by a high adhesion to the substrate and also high erosion and abrasive-wear resistance and the resistance to cyclic thermal strokes. Keywords: flame spray, coating, ceramic powder, abrasive-wear resistance, erosion-wear resistance, adhesion strengtĥ lanek predstavlja rezultate {tudija uporabnih lastnosti plamensko nane{enih kerami~nih premazov, izdelanih iz materiala oksidne keramike v obliki prahov na osnovi aluminijevega oksida Al2O3 z dodatkom 3 % titanovega oksida TiO2 in tudi na osnovi cirkonovega oksida (ZrO2) s 30 % kalcijevega oksida (CaO) na podlagi iz nelegiranega konstrukcijskega jekla S235JR. Tamponska plast je bila izdelana s kovinskim prahom na osnovi Ni-Al-Mo. Plo{~a dimenzij 5 mm × 200 mm × 300 mm in tudĩ elna stran povr{ine valjev f40 mm × 50 mm sta bili plamensko nane{eni. Tamponski nanos je bil izdelan z gorilnikom RotoTec 80, zunanji specifi~ni nanos z gorilnikom CastoDyn DS 8000. Preiskave lastnosti nanosov so bile izvr{ene z metalografijo, preiskavo sestave faz, meritvijo mikrotrdote, preiskavo prijemljivosti nanosa na podlago, z preizkusom odpornosti na abrazijsko obrabo, (v skladu z ASTM G65 standardom), odpornost na erozijsko obrabo, (v skladu z ASTM G76-95 standardom) in s preizkusom na termo{ok. Zna~ilnost nanosov je bila velika oprijemljivost na podlago, tudi odpornost na erozijsko in abrazijsko obrabo ter odpornost na toplotne {oke. Klju~ne besede: plamensko nana{anje, nanos, kerami~ni prah, odpornost na abrazijsko obrabo, odpornost na erozijsko obrabo, adhezijska trdnost
