Molybdenum and tungsten coatings for x- ray targets obtained through the low-pressure plasma spraying process

Low-pressure plasma spraying under an argon atmosphere was employed to deposit molybdenum and tungsten coatings on different metallic, ceramic, and composite substrates. Molybdenum coatings ob-tained through this technique presented a homogeneous structure with an average porosity of about 17 %. These coatings exhibited adhesion greater than 40 MPa on molybdenum and grey cast iron (FT25) substrates. No adhesion was observed on an A1N surface regardless of the preheating temperature and/or surface preparation. Adhesion on AIN-Mo (AM25) composite substrate, containing 25 % dispersed metal-lic phase by volume, showed intermediate results. Tungsten coatings exhibited porosity between 10 to 12% and a typical lamellar structure. The adhesion of tungsten coatings on molybdenum and FT25 sub-strates was around 40 MPa.     

Plasma spray forming of functionally graded materials mould

A new technology of functionally graded materials(FGM) mould fabricated by plasma spraying and arc spraying was developed. According to applied characteristic of plastic mould, the reasonable coatings of FGM were designed and their microstructures were analyzed. At the same time, some key problems were solved including spray mould fabricating, FGM forming and demoulding, etc. The results show that the service performance of the FGM mould is much more excellent than the one composed of the traditional materials, and the life span can also be greatly increased. The technology will have a significant influence on materials development in mould industry.     

Effect of Ti-OH formation on bioactivity of vacuum plasma sprayed titanium coating after chemical treatment

The effect of Ti-OH groups on bioactivity of NaOH treated titanium coating was investigated in this paper. The NaOH-heat treatment was also applied to modify the titanium coating for comparison. The results show that the amount of Ti-OH groups was important to induce apatite formation on the treated titanium coating. When the NaOH treated titanium coating was exposed to SBF, it released Na⁺ ions from the sodium titanate layer on its surface into the SBF via exchanging with H₃O⁺ ions in the fluid and Ti-OH groups were rapidly formed on the surface. So the NaOH treated titanium coating has good bioactivity in simulated body fluid (SBF). The amount of Ti-OH groups on the titanium coating was reduced after heat treatment, so the bioactivity of NaOH-heat treated titanium coating was obviously affected.

Prediction of powder particle behavior during high-velocity oxyfuel spraying

A mathematical model is developed to predict particle velocity and temperature during high-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) spraying. This model accounts for internal heat conduction in powder particles; particle heating, fusion, cooling, and solidification; the influence of particle morphology on thermal behavior; and the composite structure of the particles. Analytical results are obtained that describe particle velocity and temperature variations. The dependence of fluid velocity on particle density and volume fraction is shown. The results agree with empirically established HVOF spraying practice. Physical Metal-lurgy—Materials Science     

Thermal spraying of biomaterials

Osteoconductive hydroxyapatite coatings for metallic endoprostheses for hip and knee joint replacement provide a state-of-the-art template for enhanced in-growth of bone cells. However, the high temperature of the plasma jet leads to large scale dehydroxylation and decomposition of the starting powder. A model is being developed to explain the formation of chemically and mechanically inhomogeneous porous calcium phosphate coatings deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying onto titanium alloy substrates. In addition the biofunctionality is being discussed of titania bond coats and their influence on the in vivo performance of hydroxyapatite-titania duplex coating systems.

High-power hybrid plasma spraying of large yttria-stabilized zirconia powder

To testify to the advantage of large ceramic powder spraying, numerical simulations and experimental studies on the behavior of large yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powder in a high-power hybrid plasma spraying process have been carried out. Numeric predictions and experimental results showed that, with the high radio frequency (RF) input power of 100 kW, the most refractory YSZ powder with particle sizes as large as 88 μm could be fully melted and well-flattened splats could be formed. A large degree of flattening (ξ) of 4.7 has been achieved. The improved adhesive strength between the large splat and the substrate was confirmed based on the measurement of the crack density inside of the splats. A thick YSZ coating >300 μm was successfully deposited on a large CoNiCrAlY-coated Inconel substrate (50×50×4 mm in size). The ultradense microstructure without clear boundaries between the splats and the clean and crack-free interface between the top-coat and the bond-coat also indicate the good adhesion. These results showed that highpower hybrid plasma spraying of large ceramic powder is a very promising process for deposition of highquality coatings, especially in the application of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs).
