1. The Prediction of Fluid Flow, Particle In-Flight and Coating Characteristics in Atmospheric Plasma Spraying
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to make a contribution to the development and application of models for the simulation and optimisation of plasma spray processes in production engineering. In particular, focus is placed on the development, combination and application of models for coating deposition and robot motion optimisation, the prediction of coating temperatures during deposit, the simulation of the plasma flow field, and in-flight characteristics of injected particles.

2. Investigation of microstructure and porosity of columnar yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings produced by axial suspension plasma spraying
Abstract : Ceramic topcoats provide thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with its heat insulating properties. The heat transfer is primarily occurring by conduction through the bulk material, therefore features such as interfaces, pores and grain boundaries are essential for thermal insulation as they act as scattering sites.

3. A Study of the Adhesion Strength of Plasma Sprayed Coatings
Abstract : Surface preparation prior to thermal spraying is a key factor in ensuring a good adhesion of the coating onto the part to be coated. Surface pre-treatment conditions and methods have mainly been developed experimentally and have changed little over the years. READ MORE

5. A Methodology to Control the Microstructure of Plasma Sprayed Coatings
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to enhance the overall understanding of the plasma spray process and increase control and reproducibility of the coating properties. This was performed by establishment of relationships between controllable process parameters, in-flight properties of the injected particles (velocity and temperature), and microstructure properties.
