Comparing the deposition mechanisms in suspension plasma spray (SPS) and solution precursor plasma spray (SPPS) deposition of yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ)
Résumé
Thermal spraying using liquid feedstock has emerged as a promising technology for the deposition of finely structured ceramic coatings. In order to provide a comparative assessment of the deposition mechanisms occurring when spraying suspension or solution feedstock, suspensions of 300 nm-sized ZrO2-4.5 mol.% Y2O3 particles dispersed in water and in ethanol and solutions of zirconium and yttrium salts, corresponding to ZrO2-4.5 mol.% Y2O3 and ZrO2-8 mol.% Y2O3 stoichiometries, were processed by plasma spraying using different parameter settings. In-flight diagnostics of sprayed droplets, together with the morphological, microstructural and phase analysis of individual lamellae collected onto polished substrates, performed by SEM, FIB, AFM and micro-Raman spectroscopy, led to the identification of deposition mechanisms, which were subsequently verified through the characterisation of complete coating layers.
