Abstract: | 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.
