In this study, the effects of mechanical milling and YSZ reinforcing on oxidation behavior of CoNiCrAlY coatings were investigated. Various amounts of YSZ particles (0%, 5%, 10% and 15 wt.%) were mixed with commercial CoNiCrAlY powder and milled for 24 hrs. Then, the mechanically milled and commercial powders were deposited on Inconel 617 substrate using High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) process. Freestanding bodies of nanostructured and conventional HVOF CoNiCrAlY coatings were oxidized at 1000 °C for different times to form the thermally grown oxide layer. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray mapping were used to analyze the scales formed on the surface of the oxidized samples. The results showed that nanostructured coatings exhibited higher porosity due to undesirable morphology of feedstock powders. This factor accelerated diffusion rate of oxygen into coating body. On the other hand, undesireable oxidation of nanostructured particles during spraying leads to increase in the oxidation rate of coatings.

In this research, BaTiO3 thick deposit has been successfully sprayed by air plasma spray. The microstructure and dielectric properties of thick films were investigated by secondary electron microscopy (SEM) and LCR meter respectively. XRD measurement was carried out on plasma sprayed BaTiO3. The results illustrate differences in the crystal structure between plasma sprayed coatings and feed stock powders. The as deposited films were mainly crystalline with small amount of an amorphous second phase. The amount of crystalline to amorphous phases was found to be critically dependent upon the degree of melting of feed stock powders. The as-deposited BaTiO3 films had maximum dielectric constant as high as 85 at room temperature. Upon annealing in air at 1050 oC, the dielectric constant increased to165. Increasing in dielectric constant was attributed to the crystallization of the amorphous phase. The dielectric constant of BaTiO3 thick films produced by plasma spray was lower than that of sintering ceramic. Reduction in dielectric properties of deposited films was related to splats interface and lamellar structure of plasma sprayed coatings.
