Abstract

Abstract An amorphous Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) ceramic powder feedstock is successfully used to produce a novel YSZ ceramic coating by plasma spraying process, in this paper. Unlike conventional atmosphere plasma spray (APS) and solution precursor plasma spray (SPPS) YSZ coatings, the YSZ ceramic coating fabricated by plasma spraying amorphous YSZ ceramic powder feedstock reveals complex structure of cell and ultrafine particles instead of conventional splats and porous structure. A large number of ultrafine particles are found in the cell. Phase structure of the YSZ ceramic coating is tetragonal. Porosity is about 31%. In addition, thermal cycling test is nearly 370 cycles, and the thermal conductivity is 1.0 W.m-1.K-1, at 1250 temperature. Based on these excellent properties, the YSZ ceramic coating fabricated by plasma spraying amorphous YSZ ceramic powder feedstock should be used as high-temperature abradable sealing coatings and thermal barrier coatings (TBCs).
