This paper develops a model for the deposition process of a thermal barrier plasma-sprayed
coating. This takes experimental data for the plasma temperature and enthalpy content and …

A theoretical study of the temperature distribution in plasma-spraying coatings was
undertaken. The method of calculation is based on an assumption that the coated substrate …

Thermal barrier coatings produced by plasma spraying have a characteristic microstructure
of lamellae, pores, and cracks. The lamellae form when particles splash onto the substrate …

A general method for the analysis of the thermal stresses produced during cooling of plasma-
sprayed thermal barrier coatings is presented. It relies on a model for the reproduction of the …

An attempt at the comprehensive simulation of a thermal spray process is made. The
simulation tool consists of physical models and their computational realisations for major …

An attempt to develop a theory for the calculation of the temperature distribution in a plasma-
sprayed coating is presented. This theory takes into account both the physical properties of …

Post-fabrication cool down (secondary cooling) is said to be the major cause of the residual
stress in thermally sprayed coatings. Primary cooling, the cooling of spray particles to …

Publisher Summary Plasma spraying is a process in which finely divided metallic and
nonmetallic materials are deposited in a molten or semi-molten state on a prepared …

This paper presents a numerical simulation of the plasma-spraying of alumina particles. The
first section deals with the coating formation. The latter is governed by various time-scales …

Many works have been devoted to the study of plasma sprayed coatings and, if progresses
have been made, the coatings are still resulting more from an empirical understanding than …
