Direct current Suspension Plasma Spraying (SPS) allows depositing finely structured coatings. This article presents an analysis
of the influence of plasma instabilities on the yttria-stabilized suspension drops fragmentation. A particular attention is
paid to the treatment of suspension jet or drops according to the importance of voltage fluctuations (linked to those of the
arc root) and depending on the different spray parameters such as the plasma forming gas mixture composition and mass flow
rate and the suspension momentum. By observing the suspension drops injection with a fast shutter camera and a laser flash
sheet triggered by a defined transient voltage level of the plasma torch, the influence of plasma fluctuations on jet or drops
fragmentation is studied through the deviation and dispersion trajectories of droplets within the plasma jet.

In plasma spraying, the arc-root fluctuations, modifying the length and characteristics of the plasma jet, have an important
influence on particle thermal treatment. These voltage fluctuations are strongly linked to the thickness of the cold boundary
layer (CBL), surrounding the arc column. This thickness depends on the plasma spray parameters (composition and plasma forming
gas mass flow rate, arc current, etc.) and the plasma torch design (anode-nozzle internal diameter and shape, etc.). In order
to determine the influence of these different spray parameters on the CBL properties and voltage fluctuations, experiments
were performed with two different plasma torches from Sulzer Metco. The first one is a PTF4 torch with a cylindrical anode-nozzle,
working with Ar-H2 plasma gas mixtures and the second one is a 3MB torch with either a conical or a cylindrical anode-nozzle, working with N2-H2 plasma gas mixtures. Moreover, arc voltage fluctuations influence on particle thermal treatment was studied through the measurements
of transient temperature and velocity of particles, issued from an yttria partially stabilized zirconia powder with a size
distribution between 5 and 25 μm.

Wear at the electrode surfaces of a one-cathode plasma torch changes the characteristic fluctuation pattern of the plasma
jet. This affects the trajectory of the particles injected into the plasma jet in a non-controllable way, which degrades the
reproducibility of the process. Time-based voltage measurements and Fourier analysis were carried out on a one-cathode F4
torch at different wear conditions to determine the evolution of wear dependant characteristics. A significant correlation
is observed between increasing torch wear and decreasing voltage roughness and high frequency noise. Furthermore, by means
of particle diagnostic systems, the change in the particle velocity and temperature has been measured. The variations of the
particle characteristics are significant and thus an influence on the sprayed coating microstructure is to be expected.

Effect of Powder Injection Location on Ceramic Coatings Properties When Using Plasma Spray 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of powder injecting location of the plasma spraying on spraying properties was studied. Three different powder-injecting
methods were applied in the experiment. In the first method, the particles were axially injected into the plasma flow from
the cathode tip. In the second method, the particles were radially injected into the plasma flow just downstream of the anode
arc root inside the anode nozzle. In the third method, the particles were radially injected into the plasma jet at the nozzle
exit. The alumina particles with a mean diameter of 20 μm were used to deposit coatings. Spraying properties, such as the
deposition efficiency, the melting rate of the powder particles, and the coating quality were investigated. The results show
that the spraying with axial particle injecting can heat and melt the powder particles more effectively, produce coatings
with better quality, and have higher deposition efficiency.

Solution precursor plasma spraying has been used to produce finely structured ceramic coatings with nano- and sub-micrometric
features. This process involves the injection of a solution spray of ceramic salts into a DC plasma jet under atmospheric
condition. During the process, the solvent vaporizes as the droplet travel downstream. Solid particles are finally formed
due to the precipitation of the solute, and the particle are heated up and accelerated to the substrate to generate the coating.
This article describes a 3D model to simulate the transport phenomena and the trajectory and heating of the solution spray
in the process. The jet-spray two-way interactions are considered. A simplified model is employed to simulate the evolution
process and the formation of the solid particle from the solution droplet in the plasma jet. The temperature and velocity
fields of the jet are obtained and validated. The particle size, velocity, temperature, and position distribution on the substrate
are predicted.

Finely structured ceramic coatings can be obtained by solution precursor plasma spraying. The final structure of the coating
highly depends on the droplet size and velocity distribution at the injection, the evolution of the spray in the jet, and
droplet breakup and collision within the spray. This article describes a 3D model to simulate the transport phenomena and
the trajectory and heating of the solution spray in the process. O’Rourke’s droplet collision model is used to take into account
the influence of droplet collision. The influence of droplet breakup is also considered by implementing TAB droplet breakup
models into the plasma jet model. The effects of droplet collisions and breakup on the droplet size, velocity, and temperature
distribution of the solution spray are investigated. The results indicate that droplet breakup and collision play an important
role in determining the final particle size and velocity distributions on the substrate.

Among other methods, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torches can be used for the synthesis of nanoparticles. In this process,
the precursor material is vaporized in the first step in the plasma core. In the second step, nucleation and condensation
occur in the synthesis chamber where the plasma gets colder and high-purity nanoparticles are synthesized, the growth of which
is stopped by gas quenching. From their low velocity and high temperature, induction plasmas are particularly adapted for
this application. Numerical modeling is a good way to achieve a better knowledge and understanding of the process since non-intrusive
diagnostics are fairly difficult to implement. In the present article, a two-dimensional model of an ICP torch was developed
and validated on the basis of comparisons with data obtained by some other authors. Finally, the current frequency (13.56 MHz),
pressure level (0.04 MPa), and gas flow rates were adjusted for the specific conditions of nanoparticles synthesis.

Nanostructured WC-12% Co coatings were deposited by suspension plasma spraying of submicron feedstock powders, using an internal
injection plasma torch. The liquid carrier used in this approach allows for controlled injection of much finer particles than
in conventional thermal spraying, leading to thin coatings with a fine surface finish. A polyethylene-imine (PEI) dispersant
was used to stabilize the colloidal suspension in an ethanol carrier. In-flight particle states were measured for a number
of operating conditions of varying plasma gas flow rates, feed rates, and standoff distances and were related to the resulting
microstructure, phase composition (EDS, SEM, XRD), and Vickers hardness. High in-flight particle velocities (>800 m/s) were
generated, leading to dense coatings. It was observed that the coating quality was generally compromised by the high temperature
and reactivity of the small particles. To compensate for this shortcoming, the suspension feed rate was adjusted, thereby
varying the thermal load on the plasma. Results showed that a slightly larger agglomerate size, in conjunction with low particle
jet temperatures, could somewhat limit the decomposition of WC into brittle W2C/W3C and amorphous cobalt containing binder phases.

Anode erosion in plasma spray torches results in coating deterioration. The usable life of a torch anode is strongly dependent
on the fluid dynamic behavior of the plasma inside the torch, which in turn depends on the geometric design of the anode and
the operating parameters. To study the relative importance of these effects, cold flow investigations have been performed
with a torch having a glass anode with the same geometric dimensions as a commercial plasma torch. The density differences
between the arc and the cold gas were simulated by injecting heated helium from the tip of the cathode into the cold argon
gas flow from the regular gas injector. Flow visualization was achieved by seeding the flow with micron-sized particles. A
finite-element computational fluid dynamics code was used to simulate the cold flow structure. The results were compared with
erosion patterns observed with an actual plasma torch. The results indicate that recirculation eddies inside the torch will
force a preferred anode attachment, which is different for different gas injectors. The minimization of such recirculation
regions by appropriate fluid dynamic design will result in more random attachment of the arc and prolonged anode life.

Different posttreatment methods, such as heat treatment, mechanical processing, sealing, etc., are known to be capable to
improve microstructure and exploitation properties of thermal spray coatings. In this work, a plasma electrolytic oxidation
of aluminum coatings obtained by arc spraying on aluminum and carbon steel substrates is carried out. Microstructure and properties
of oxidized layers formed on sprayed coating as well as on bulk material are investigated. Oxidation is performed in electrolyte
containing KOH and liquid glass under different process parameters. It is shown that thick uniform oxidized layers can be
formed on arc-sprayed aluminum coatings as well as on solid material. Distribution of alloying elements and phase composition
of obtained layers are investigated. A significant improvement of wear resistance of treated layers in two types of abrasive
wear conditions is observed.

A series of plasma sprayed coatings of controlled microstructure was obtained by spraying three monosize sapphire powders
using an axial injection torch in which the plasma gas composition and nozzle diameter were the only processing parameters
varied. The effects of changes in these parameters on the coating splat morphology, porosity, angular crack distribution,
and hardness are reported. The uniform, dense microstructure and the high hardness of 14 GPa (a level usually only associated
with chromia thermal spray coatings) of the best alumina coatings resulted from using tightly controlled processing conditions
and monodispersed precursor powders. The microstructural quality of plasma sprayed coatings and, hence, the coating properties
can be improved significantly by minimizing variations in processing and raw material parameters.

This work presents numerical simulation results for molten nickel and zirconia (YZS) droplets impacting on different microscale-patterned
surfaces of silicon. The numerical simulation clearly showed the effect of surface roughness and solidification on the shape
of the final splat, as well as the pore creation beneath the sprayed material. Simulations were performed using computational
fluid dynamic software, SimDrop. The code uses a three-dimensional finite-difference algorithm solving the full Navier-Stokes
equation, including heat transfer and phase change. A volume of fluid (VOF) tracking algorithm is used to track the droplet-free
surface. Thermal contact resistance at the droplet-substrate interface is also included in the model. Specific attention is
paid to the simulation of droplet impact under plasma spraying conditions. Droplet sizes ranged from 15 to 60 microns with
initial velocities of 70-250 m/s. Substrate surfaces were patterned with regular arrays of cubes 1-3 μm high, spaced either
1 μm or 5 μm from each other. Different splat morphologies produced by simulations are compared with those obtained from the
experiment conducted under the same impact and surface conditions.

Many substrates do not sustain the conventional glazing process (i.e., vitreous glazing) due to the relatively high temperature
required by this treatment (i.e., up to 1400 °C in some cases) to fuse glazes after their application on the surface to be
covered. Flame spraying could appear as a solution to circumvent this limitation and to avoid thermal decomposition of substrates.
This contribution describes some structural attributes of glaze coatings manufactured by flame spraying. It also discusses
the influence of the feedstock powder morphology and some of its physical properties on coating characteristics.

Plasma sprayed cast iron coatings containing solid lubricant graphite and h-BN structure 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Water-atomized cast iron powder of Fe-2.17 at.%C-9.93at.%Si-3.75at.%Al were deposited onto an aluminum alloy substrate by
atmospheric direct current plasma spraying to improve its tribological properties. Preannealing of the cast iron powder allows
the precipitation of considerable amounts of graphite structure in the powder. However, significant reduction in graphitized
carbon in cast iron coatings is inevitable after plasma spraying in air atmosphere due to the in-flight burning and dissolution
into molten iron droplets. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) powders, which have excellent lubricating properties like graphite,
were incorporated into the cast iron powder as a solid lubricant by the sintering process (1300°C) to obtain protective coatings
with a low friction coefficient. The performance of each coating was evaluated using a ring-on-disk-type wear tester under
a paraffin-based oil condition in an air atmosphere. A conventional cast iron liner, which had a flaky graphite embedded in
the pearlitic matrix, was also tested under similar conditions for comparison. Sections of worn surfaces and debris were characterized,
and the wear behavior of plasma-sprayed coatings was discussed.

Poorly controlled heat and momentum transfers between plasma and material, plasma instabilities are some of the difficulties encountered in suspension plasma spraying. The improvement of this method is usually attempted by means of the reduction of arc fluctuations. This paper presents a new approach to the injection of reactive material in an arc jet. The principle is to produce a pulsed laminar plasma jet combined with phased injection of liquid droplets. This is achieved by the particular design of the plasma torch that works at moderate power and following a resonant mode. The droplets are injected using a piezoelectric device, based on drop-on-demand method, triggered by the voltage signal sampled at the torch connections. The results are evaluated by time-resolved imaging technique that shows how the trajectories are influenced by the moment at which the droplets penetrate the plasma jet. 相似文献

Thermal spraying is a widely used technology for industrial applications to provide coatings that improve the surface characteristics.
According to the specificities of processes (APS, VPS, flame, electric arc), any kind of material can be sprayed. Among materials,
ceramic coatings present several interesting aspects such as wear resistance, corrosion protection as well as thermal or electrical
insulation; particularly alumina coatings which appear as the most commonly used. From all spraying processes, atmospheric
plasma spraying (APS) is a rather well-established process but some others can also be used with a lower economical impact
such as the flame technology. The aim of this study was to analyze the alumina coating properties according to the technology
employed such as APS or wire flame spraying using the Rokide™ and the Master Jet? guns. After micrographic analyses by SEM, physical and mechanical properties were measured considering the thermal conductivity
and the hardness.

Metal-matrix composites (MMCs) containing large ceramic particles as superabrasives are typically used for grinding stone,
minerals, and concrete. Sintering and brazing are the key manufacturing technologies for grinding tool production. However,
restricted geometry flexibility and the absence of repair possibilities for damaged tool surfaces, as well as difficulties
of controlling material interfaces, are the main weaknesses of these production processes. Thermal spraying offers the possibility
to avoid these restrictions. The research for this paper investigated a fabrication method based on the use of detonation
flame spraying technology to bond large superabrasive particles (150-600 μm, needed for grinding minerals and stones) in a
metallic matrix. Layer morphology and bonding quality are evaluated with respect to superabrasive material, geometry, spraying,
and powder-injection parameters. The influence of process temperature and the possibilities of thermal treatment of MMC layers
are analyzed.

Perovskite-type LaMnO3 powders and coatings have been prepared by a novel technique: reactive suspension plasma spraying (SPS) using an inductively
coupled plasma of approximately 40 kW plate power and an oxygen plasma sheath gas. Suitable precursor mixtures were found
on the basis of solid state reactions, solubility, and the phases obtained during the spray process. Best results were achieved
by spraying a suspension of fine MnO2 powder in a saturated ethanol solution of LaCl3 with a 1 to 1 molar ratio of lanthanum and manganese. A low reactor pressure was helpful in diminishing the amount of corrosive
chlorine compounds in the reactor. As-sprayed coatings and collected powders showed perovskite contents of 70 to 90%. After
a posttreatment with an 80% oxygen plasma, an almost pure LaMnO3 deposit was achieved in the center of the incident plasma jet.

Nowadays, wire-arc spraying of chromium steel has gained an important market share for corrosion and wear protection applications.
However, detailed studies are the basis for further process optimization. In order to optimize the process parameters and
to evaluate the effects of the spray parameters DoE-based experiments had been carried out with high-speed camera shoots.
In this article, the effects of spray current, voltage, and atomizing gas pressure on the particle jet properties, mean particle
velocity and mean particle temperature and plume width on X46Cr13 wire are presented using an online process monitoring device.
Moreover, the properties of the coatings concerning the morphology, composition and phase formation were subject of the investigations
using SEM, EDX, and XRD-analysis. These deep investigations allow a defined verification of the influence of process parameters
on spray plume and coating properties and are the basis for further process optimization.

Ideally, plasma spraying of metal powders must take place within a narrow processing “window” where the particles become fully
molten before they hit the substrate, but are not overheated to the point that substantial volatilization occurs. Metal evaporation
in flight results in a decrease in the deposition efficiency. In addiiton, the emission of vapors leads to the formation of
metal and oxide fumes that are undesirable from the viewpoints of both resource conservation and environmental control. This
study examines the vaporization and fume formation in the plasma spraying of iron powders of different size ranges. The experimental
part involves the determination of the population (number density) of metal atoms at different cross sections along the trajectory
of the plasma jet, and the collection of the submicronic particles resulting from vapor condensation. The experimental results
are compared with the projections of a mathematical model that computes the gas/particle velocity and temperature fields within
the jet envelope, projects the rate of heat/mass transfer at the surface of individual particles, and determines the rate
of volatilization that results in the formation of metal and metal oxide fumes.
