Résumé

The hardness and the elastic modulus measured by microindentation of three different types of plasma sprayed alumina coatings have been compared. Usually, such coatings present porosity and heterogeneity which affect the measurement of the mechanical properties. To take such effects into account along with the indentation size effect which is relevant to all hardness studies, the Proportional Specimen Resistance model is applied. The three alumina coatings show closely similar mechanical properties at indentation loads exceeding 1 N, i.e., macrohardness around 5.7 GPa, indentation size effect parameter around 5.5 MPa mm and elastic modulus around 160 GPa. For loads below 1 N, the extrapolated values of the macrohardness of crushed and agglomerated alumina coatings increased to 8.5 GPa, while the indentation size effect parameter has the same value, and the elastic modulus increased to 320 GPa. However, no significant change in the measured values of hardness and the elastic modulus of the nanostructured alumina coating has been observed. This result is attributed to porosity and the bimodal microstructure of the nanostructured coating where a semimolten phase coexists along with the fully molten phases.
