Behavior of plasma-sprayed coatingsThe microstructural development of plasma sprayed oxide coatings is described with particualr reference to aluminum oxide coatings and thermal barrier coatings of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The microstructural features of these coatings, observed by optical and electron microscopy, are related to their mechanical behavior. The adhesion of the coatings is also investigated using fracture toughness and tensile tests. It is noted that acoustic emission is valuable in formulating possible fracture mechanisms for YSZ coatings.
