High Temperature wear behavior of plasma sprayed ZrO$_2$ and MoS$_2$, $Fe_2O_3$ coatings were investigated for high temperature wear resistance applications. The MoS$_2$, $Fe_2O_3$ added powders containing 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 mol% of $MoS_2$, $Fe_2O_3$ for plasma spray were made by spray drying method. Wear test were performed at temperature ranges from room temperature to 600$\circ$C. The microstructural change of coatings and the worn. surface were examined by SEM and XRD. In ZrO$_2$ coating, the coefficient of friction and wear amount of room temperature to 400$\circ$C was increased with temperature and decreased with temperature over 400$\circ$C. The coefficient of friction and wear amount of MoS$_2$ added coatings were increased with temperature, but those of $Fe_2O_3$ added coatings had lower coefficient of friction and higher wear resistance than ZrO$_2$ coating.

High Temperature wear behavior of plasma sprayed zirconia coatings containing up to 10 mol% of Fe$_2$O$_3$ were investigated. The wear test results showed that the addition of Fe$_2$O$_3$ particles to zirconia improved the wear resistance and lowered the coefficient of friction. Optimum concentration of Fe$_2$O$_3$ was about 5 mol%. Similar degradation behavior was observed at about 40$0^{\circ}C$ for both zirconia and Fe$_2$O$_3$ added zirconia coatings. The results indicated that stabilization of tetragonal phase and changes in mechanical properties such as hardness and toughness were responsible for tribological behavior of plasma sprayed zirconia contain Fe$_2$O$_3$.

A Taguchi methodology study of the plasma spraying thermal barrier coating (TBC) layer is presented. The experiment parameters were designed by a L8-style orthogonal arrays approach. A Taguchi analysis was conduc-ted through the results of the coating properties which were affected by plasma spraying parameters. Zirconia (partially stbilized with ytrria: PSZ) was sprayed on TiAl intermetallic compound substrates, The coating layer was characterized by thickness microstructure and porosity using SEM and Image analyzer. The coating quali-ties are discussed with respect to thermal barrier effect thermal cycling test6 and adhesion strength test. An optimum condition of plasma spraying process which are derived from the Taguchi analysis could be found for high quality TBC.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance and reliability of plasma sprayed nanostructured zirconia (NSZ) coating. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This study consisted of three areas of analysis: (1) Mechanical property: surface roughness of NSZ coating and bond strength between NSZ coating and titanium specimens were measured, and the microstructure of bonding interface was also observed by scanning election microscope (SEM). (2) Biocompatibility: hemolysis tests, cell proliferation tests, and rat subcutaneous implant test were conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of NSZ coating. (3) Mechanical compatibility: fracture and artificial aging tests were performed to measure the mechanical compatibility of NSZ-coated titanium abutments. RESULTS. In the mechanical study, 400 ㎛ thick NSZ coatings had the highest bond strength (71.22 ± 1.02 MPa), and a compact transition layer could be observed. In addition, NSZ coating showed excellent biocompatibility in both hemolysis tests and cell proliferation tests. In subcutaneous implant test, NSZ-coated plates showed similar inflammation elimination and fibrous tissue formation processes with that of titanium specimens. Regarding fatigue tests, all NSZ-coated abutments survived in the five-year fatigue test and showed sufficient fracture strength (407.65-663.7 N) for incisor teeth. CONCLUSION. In this study, the plasmasprayed NSZ-coated titanium abutments presented sufficient fracture strength and biocompatibility, and it was demonstrated that plasma spray was a reliable method to prepare high-quality zirconia coating.

The present report is the investigation of the effects of the HIP treatment on plasma-sprayed ceramic coating of $Al_2$O$_3$, $Al_2$O$_3$- SiO$_2$ on the metal substrate. These effects were characterized by phase identification, Vickers hardness measurement, and tensile test before and after HIPing.

Far infrared ceramic/aluminum composite powders for thermal spray were fabricated by spray drying method and investigated the characteristics of the plasma sprayed coating layers, I.e. microstructure, phases, thermal shock resistance and spectral emissivity. The shape of the spray dried composite powder was spherical and the particle size distribution was 34~105${\mu}m $. Aluminum was distributed homogeneously in the spray dried composite powder. Spectral emissivity of the plasma sprayed coating layer ranges from 3 to 14${\mu}m $ whereas spectral emissivity of the raw ceramic powder ranges from 8 to 14${\mu}m $. And then spectral emissivity of the coatings was better than that of the raw powder but spectral emissivity was decreased with increasing aluminum content. It was found that aluminum content ranging from 20 to 30wt% was suitable for fabricating far-infrared radiator by plasma spraying method.

Hydroxyapatite(HA) was spray-coated to alloy substrate(Ti-6Al-4V) using plasma-spray process for bioceramic application The coating morphology composition and crystallinity were influenced by following process parameters ; stand-off distance spray power level and auxiliary gas pressure. These parameters have been systematically varied in the present study to evaluate their relative influence on the coating qual-ity and to seek an optimum spraying condition. Amorphicity and decomposition of HA increased with stand-off distance and the imperfect coating layer was obtained at the short stant-off distance (55mm). The cry-stallinity of HA coating decreased with spray power level and auxiliary gas pressure but the bond strength between the HA coated layer and Ti alloy substrate increased with the spray power level.

In the case of using high temperature by coating ceramic/metal, large stress was produced due to difference of thermal expansion coefficient between those. And then lead to delamination. In order to relaxation of the stress A1$_2$O$_3$/SS316 composite powders with $10wt.%Al_2O_3$ compositional gradient and $10wt.%Al_2O_3$ agglomerated powder were made by spray drying method. These powders were sintered to improve the strength and to be plasma sprayed in order to fabricate the FGC(functionally graded coating). The influence of gun power, working distance and Ar pressure on the microstructure of the coating layer was studied in order to optimize the plasma spray conditions. It was proven that the optimum conditions were 40kw gun power, 5cm working distance and $100ft^3/h$ Ar flow for both powders. FGC with 10 compositional steps was fabricated and the total thickness was 1.3mm. FGC was heat treated at $1100^{\circ}C$for 10hours to evaluate the heat resisting characteristics.
