As one of the promising methods that can be employed to fabricate high-performance
thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), suspension plasma spraying (SPS) or solution precursor …

From the pioneering works of McPherson in 1973 who identified nanometre-sized features
in thermal spray conventional alumina coatings (using sprayed particles in the tens of …

The suspension plasma spray (SPS) process was used to produce coatings from yttria-
stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powders with median diameters of 15 μm and 80 nm. The powder …

This article presents what is our present knowledge in plasma spraying of suspension, sol,
and solution in order to achieve finely or nano-structured coatings. First, it describes the …

Improving efficiency of hot section components of aero engines such as turbine blades or
nozzle guide vanes is critical for the aircraft industry. Over many years, the development of …

Conventional thermal spray processes as atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) have to use
easily flowable powders with a size up to 100 μm. This leads to certain limitations in the …

This paper investigates the evolution of microstructure of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)
produced by suspension plasma spraying (SPS) through a careful experimental study …

Suspension plasma spraying (SPS) offers the manufacture of unique microstructures which
are not possible with conventional powdery feedstock. Due to the considerably smaller size …

Suspension and solution plasma spraying makes it possible to achieve coatings with fine
microstructural features and is becoming a common route in laboratories to elaborate …

Suspension plasma spraying (SPS) is used to perform enhanced YSZ coating with columnar
microstructure for thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications. By combination of plasma flow …
