Hlavnička, Radek ; Juliš, Martin (oponent) ; Hutařová, Simona (vedoucí práce)
Tato práce posuzuje vliv nanesené ochranné AlSi vrstvy na únavové vlastnosti základního materiálu, kterým je niklová slitina Inconel 738 LC. Ochranná vrstva je vyrobena žárovým plazmatickým nástřikem s následným tepelným zpracováním. Pozornost je věnována hodnocení mikrostruktury základního materiálu a vrstvy, dále měření tloušťky a mikrotvrdosti vrstvy po samotném žárovém nástřiku a také po aplikovaném tepelném zpracování. Únavové vlastnosti jsou posuzovány zejména na základě hodnocení lomových ploch a únavových trhlin po zkouškách nízkocyklové únavy prováděné při 800 °C.

Composite coatings containing nanometric constituents prepared by plasma spraying with liquid feedstocks
Mušálek, Radek ; Tesař, Tomáš ; Medřický, Jan ; Čížek, Jan ; Lukáč, František
Plasma spraying of liquid feedstocks allows deposition of materials with novel microstructures. Due to the combination of a liquid carrier and ultrafine powders (in case of suspensions) or in-situ formation of the final material in the plasma jet (in case of solutions), preparation of ultrafine composites is possible, typically in a form of coatings on the substrates. Moreover, both suspension and solution spraying routes can be easily combined, either together or even with conventional plasma spraying of coarse dry powders, thus merging benefits of “nanometric” and “micrometric” constituents in the final composite microstructure. As a consequence, liquid feedstock plasma spraying represents an industrially-relevant deposition process with wide variability, providing coatings with properties tailored for various applications ranging from compact wear-resistant layers, porous thermal barrier coatings, bio-compatible medical coatings, catalyst carriers, fuel-cells, etc. The paper introduces several examples of such ultrafine coatings recently deposited at IPP CAS using hybrid water-stabilized plasma torch.

Microstructure and microhardness evaluation for NiCrAlY materials manufactured by spark plasma sintering and plasma spraying
Hulka, Iosif ; Mušálek, Radek ; Lukáč, František ; Klečka, Jakub ; Chráska, Tomáš
NiCrAlY deposited by different thermal spraying methods is commonly used as the bond coat material in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). In the present study, two experimental coatings were deposited by hybrid water stabilized plasma (WSP-H) and radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP) using the same feedstock powder. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) was used to manufacture a compact NiCrAlY from the same feedstock powder as a reference material. Microstructure, internal oxidation, phase characterization and quantification of the mechanical behaviour in terms of microhardness were studied. The investigations clearly showed microstructural and mechanical differences between the NiCrAlY samples manufactured by different plasma technologies. The results confirmed that SPS and RF-ICP provide dense structures with no oxides due to the fabrication under protective atmosphere and similar mechanical properties. Thus, RF-ICP may be used for deposition of very dense coatings with microstructure and hardness comparable to compacted materials prepared by SPS.

On tungsten spraying using inductively coupled plasma system - First results
Klečka, Jakub ; Mušálek, Radek ; Vilémová, Monika ; Lukáč, František
Thanks to its unique properties such as high melting point and density, tungsten and tungsten-based alloys are commonly used in a wide range of applications. Among others, these materials are promising candidates for the plasma facing components in the future fusion reactors. One of considered ways of production of these parts is plasma spraying. There are however several limitations for conventional gas stabilized torches, mainly in plasma enthalpy (i.e. the ability to efficiently melt tungsten particles in considerable feed rates) and susceptibility of tungsten to oxidation (which complicates spraying in oxidizing open-air atmosphere). The radio frequency inductively coupled plasma torch (RF-ICP) is a unique system which can potentially overcome both these problems and can be used for efficient tungsten spraying. The tungsten powder, which can be finer than the one used for the conventional systems, is fed axially into the hot plasma core, both factors lead to a more efficient melting of the particles. The deposition is performed in a chamber with controlled atmosphere of inert gas or decreased pressure, the oxidation is therefore suppressed. In this first study carried out with the newly commissioned RF-ICP system TekSpray 15 (Tekna), samples of tungsten coatings on graphite substrates were prepared. The X-ray diffraction and SEM images of the free surfaces and cross-sections were obtained, documenting high purity of the deposits and appropriate flattening of the splats leading to a dense coating microstructure. The effect of substrate preheating on the microstructure, porosity and hardness was also studied.

Suspension plasma spraying of sub-stoichiometric titania by hybrid water/argon stabilized plasma torch
Mušálek, Radek ; Ctibor, Pavel ; Medřický, Jan ; Tesař, Tomáš ; Kotlan, Jiří ; Lukáč, František
In this study, suspension plasma spraying of sub-stoichiometric titania was attempted using hybrid water/argon stabilized plasma torch (WSP-H). Porous coatings with fine cauliflower-like columnar microstructure were successfully deposited in two separate experiments with different power levels of the plasma torch. In both cases, high solid-load content (40 wt. %) of the water-based suspension resulted in considerable coating thickness increase per deposition cycle. Coating annealing and partial remelting of the surface asperities were also achieved by additional pass of plasma torch in front of the coating surface. According to X-ray diffraction, all coatings consisted dominantly of rutile phase. Detailed microscopic observation of the as-sprayed and annealed deposits showed that the local coloration of the coating (ranging from dark blue to beige) was driven by the local overheating of the rough coating surface which could also promote the oxygen intake. Moreover, sample annealing was also observed to increase the sample reflectivity as observed by UV-VIS-NIR scanning spectrophotometry

The role of microstructure on wettability of plasma sprayed yttria stabilized zirconia coatings
Komarov, P. ; Čelko, L. ; Remešová, M. ; Skorokhod, K. ; Jech, D. ; Klakurková, L. ; Slámečka, K. ; Mušálek, Radek
Atmospheric plasma spraying utilizing initial powder materials in micrometric size has been successfully used for various applications in different fields of the industry over the past several decades. Nowadays, the new trend in plasma spraying is to use sub-micron or nano-sized powder feedstocks in the form of colloidal suspension. This relatively new technology enables to obtain specific types of dense vertically cracked, fully dense or columnar microstructure. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of coatings microstructure and topography on its water wetting properties. Two different microstructures, i.e. lamellar and columnar, were sprayed from chemically the same yttria-stabillized zirconia (YSZ) ceramics powders by the means of conventional atmospheric plasma spray and suspension hybrid water stabilized plasma spray techniques, respectively. Microstructural and phase composition of the initial powders and as-sprayed coatings were investigated using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Topography of coatings surface was measured by means of non-contact optical profilometry. The YSZ coatings wettability was evaluated based on water droplet contact angle using Sessile droplet method. The coatings microstructure reveals the important role in the change of droplet contact angle, where lamellar microstructure was found close to hydrophilic-hydrophobic transition and columnar microstructure was found superhydrophobic

Mechanical properties of plasma sprayed layers of NiAl10 and NiAl40 on AZ91 alloy
Kubatík, Tomáš František ; Brodil, R. ; Ctibor, Pavel ; Průša, F. ; Brožek, Vlastimil
In this work, plasma coatings of NiAl10 and NiAl40 on magnesium alloy AZ91 substrate were prepared by the hybrid plasma spraying system WSP®-H 500. The both plasma sprayed coatings of NiAl10 and NiAl40 have metallurgical bond. The thicknesses of microstructures in the cross-section of NiAl10 and NiAl40 plasma sprayed coatings prepared by 9 passes were 374 and 440 μm respectively. Adhesion test of plasma sprayed layers was performed using a modified ASTM C 633 standard. The tensile adhesion strength values are 24.7 MPa for NiAl10 coatings and 12.3 MPa for NiAl40 coatings. Abrasion resistance according to Slurry Abrasion Response (SAR) test of NiAl40 layers had similar values (0.12 g/cm2)in a comparison with the uncoated AZ91 (0.126 g/cm2). Layers NiAl10 had greater weight losses (0.175 g/cm2) than uncoated AZ91. Microhardness of plasma coating of NiAl40 is several times greater than microhardnesses of plasma coating of NiAl10 and uncoated substrate AZ91

Combined coatings against mechanical wear and corrosion low carbon steel
Brožek, Vlastimil ; Pokorný, P. ; Kolísko, J. ; Vokáč, M. ; Mastný, L. ; Stoulil, J.
In this study, special ceramic coatings were prepared on low carbon steel (1.0060 - EN 10027-2) via the plasma spraying technique using a WSP®-H plasma generator with output of up to 40 kg/h of aluminum oxide. Corundum coatings were deposited directly on the surface of steel plungers equipped with an anti-corrosion interlayer of zinc phosphate. Coating adhesion properties were tested using pin-off tests (modified ISO 4624) and reached a maximum value of 26 MPa. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by measurements of impedance spectra in the 100 kHz - 10 mHz range in a water solution of sodium sulfate. The capacity of electric double-layer varied depending on the porosity and thickness of the coating. Low-porosity coatings of >1.5 mm thickness had RCT 1.29·105 Ω·m2. The abrasive resistance of coatings was measured by rotary/machining test with SiC cutting knives, using a downforce of 50 kg·cm-2. Abrasion losses decreased with the quality of finish - starting at 0.00266 g cm-2 min-1 down to virtually zero losses after polishing the surface below Ra = 0.55 micro m.
