Abstract

The suspension plasma spraying is a modification of conventional plasma spray techniques that has been developed to overcome the challenge of using fine particles in plasma spray processes. In this study, microstructure developments and mechanical property of yttrium oxide (Y2O3) coatings prepared by the suspension plasma spray coating technique have been investigated to determine the effect of processing parameters including plasma gun current and total gas flow. The results showed that a highly dense Y2O3 coating having low porosity of 0.2 vol% without any lamellar structures can be achieved at the optimum condition of gun current 200 A and total gas flow 220 L/min.

서스펜션 플라즈마 스프레이 법은 미세한 분말을 용사 공정에 적용함으로써 전통적인 플라즈마 스프레이 법의 단점을 극복하고자 개발된 코팅법이다. 본 연구에서는 고밀도의 Y2O3 코팅막을 제조하기 위해 서스펜션 플라즈마 스프레이법을 이용하여 플라즈마 건의 전류량과 총 가스 유량을 공정변수로 하여 코팅막을 제조하였으며, 그에 따른 코팅막 특성에 대한 연구를 하였다. 코팅막의 미세구조 및 물리적 특성 평가 결과 플라즈마 건 전류량 200 A, 총 가스 유량 220 L/min의 조건에서 층상 결함 없이 0.2 vol%의 매우 낮은 기공률을 갖는 고밀도의 Y2O3 코팅막을 제조할 수 있었다.
