In terms of achievable particle velocities and temperatures, this process can be classified between high velocity oxy-fuel spraying (HVOF) and cold gas spraying (CGS). The particular advantages of HVAF regarding moderate process temperatures, high particle velocities as well as high productivity and efficiency suggest that the application of HVAF should be also investigated for the manufacture of MCrAlY (M = Co and/or Ni) bond coats (BCs) in thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems. In this work, corresponding HVAF spray parameters were developed based on detailed process analyses. Different diagnostics were carried out to characterize the working gas jet and the particles in flight. The coatings were investigated with respect to their microstructure, surface roughness and oxygen content. The spray process was assessed for its effectiveness. Process diagnostics as well as calculations of the gas flow in the jet and the particle acceleration and heating were applied to explain the governing mechanisms on the coating characteristics. The results show that HVAF is a promising alternative manufacturing process.","PeriodicalId":114755,"journal":{"name":"International Thermal Spray Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126382780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there are material options in the lower temperature range up to T = 300 °C, new alloys have to be developed to improve the range of application. The Al0.5CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) with further addition of Zr and Si shows favourable electrical properties due to severe lattice distortion. The alloy development was carried out with Al0.5CoCrFeNiZrxSiy by arc melting. Thereby, the molar Zr content x was varied from 0 to 0.5 and the Si content y from 0 to 0.2. In order to evaluate the alloy’s prospective performance, the phase composition was studied by SEM with EDX and the fracture toughness was determined to estimate fracture properties, which are found to be a typical failure mechanism of heating coatings. The different HEA exhibit a typical dendritic microstructure with fcc dendrites and a bcc interdentritic phase. The hardness of the alloys increases with increasing bcc content, while the ductility decreases. With knowledge about the effects of Zr and Si on the electrical and mechanical properties, which are justified by the microstructure, Al0.5CoCrFeNiZrxSiy HEA can be tailored specifically towards the needs of individual heating applications.","PeriodicalId":114755,"journal":{"name":"International Thermal Spray Conference","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114929023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on plasma torch design, voltage fluctuations can vary from 100 % to only a few percent of the mean voltage. Particularly, cascaded-anode plasma torch leads to very low voltage fluctuation owing to the presence of neutrodes that limit the amplitude of arc fluctuations. However, electric arc dynamics and electrode erosion process in this type of plasma torch are still poorly understood. The aim of this work is to deepen the knowledge on the influence of nozzle diameter on electric arc dynamics for two plasma forming gas compositions by means of several diagnostics devices (end-on imaging, current and voltage time monitoring, plasma jet brightness fluctuations and thermal balance determination). Reducing nozzle diameter from 9 mm to 6.5 mm results in higher voltage fluctuations, lower mean voltage and lower plasma torch thermal efficiency, probably due to a more evenly distributed warm plasma gas in the anode nozzle volume, as suggested by the higher plasma brightness. Nozzle observations after testing show significant wear in a 6.5 mm diameter nozzle, which may be evidence of a longitudinal movement of the electric arc on the anode surface, leading to high voltage fluctuations.","PeriodicalId":114755,"journal":{"name":"International Thermal Spray Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115065209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cold-gas “plume quenching” is a plume-targeting cooling technique, where an argon curtain is directed laterally above the substrate surface to re-direct high temperature gases without impacting particle motion. However, there has been little investigation of its effect on the molten particles and the resulting coating properties. This study examined high- and medium- density tantalum and nickel coatings, fabricated by Controlled Atmosphere Plasma Spray with and without plume quenching on aluminum and titanium substrates. To compare the effect of plume quenching, the deposition efficiency was calculated through coating mass gain, and the coating density, stiffness, and adhesion were measured. The tantalum and nickel coatings were largely unaffected by plume quenching with respect to deposition efficiencies, coating density, adhesion, and stiffness. These results indicate that a plume quench could be used without affecting the coating properties for high- and medium-density metals while providing the benefit of substrate cooling that increases with higher plume quench gas flow rates.","PeriodicalId":114755,"journal":{"name":"International Thermal Spray Conference","volume":"314 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123019917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most challenging limitations associated with the use of composites in the above applications is the maintenance and repair protocols. In this study, a novel cold spray approach is introduced as an efficient alternative for the structural repair of fiber composites. Damages in the form of circular tapered holes are created in glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite substrates using a conventional drilling process. The in-lab created damages are repaired by cold spray with thermoplastic (nylon 6) and thermoset (polyester epoxy resin, PER) materials. The fundamental adhesion mechanisms are investigated through microstructural observations, which point to adiabatic shear instability due to the occurrence of severe plastic deformation as a governing factor. Microstructural examinations also suggest that no significant fiber damage or surface degradation occurs after the repair by cold spray. Mechanical tests performed on neat, damaged, and repaired composites reveal the partial recovery of structural performance and load-bearing capacity after cold spray repair. Results obtained in this work highlight cold spray as a promising alternative technique for onsite structural repair of composite structures with minimal pre/post-processing requirements.","PeriodicalId":114755,"journal":{"name":"International Thermal Spray Conference","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123550843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these applications are often limited by relatively low thermal stability and conductivity compared to metals. Many methods developed to metallize polymers, including vapor deposition and thermal spray processes, can lead to poor quality control, low deposition rate, and high cost. Thus, cold spray is a promising potential alternative to rapidly and inexpensively produce polymer-metal composites. In this study, we investigated the deposition characteristics of metalpolymer composite feedstock, composed of PEEK powder with varying volume fractions of copper (Cu) flake added, onto a PEEK substrate. We prepared the Cu-PEEK composite powder in varying compositions by two methods: hand-mixing the powders and cryogenically milling the powders. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the feed mixtures shows that cryogenically milling the polymer and metal powders together created uniformly distributed micron-scale domains of Cu on PEEK particle surfaces, and vice versa, as well as consolidating much of the porous Cu flake. In lowpressure cold spray, the relatively large volume fractions of PEEK in the composite mixtures allowed for lower operating temperatures than those commonly used in PEEK metallization (300-500 °C). While the deposition efficiencies of each mixture were relatively similar in single-layer experiments, deposits formed after multiple passes showed significant changes in deposition efficiency and composition in PEEK-rich feedstock mixtures. SEM of deposit surfaces and cross-sections revealed multiple co-dominant mechanisms of deposition, which affect both the porosity and final composition of the deposit. Though present in all samples analyzed, the effects of cryogenic milling were more prevalent at lower Cu concentrations.","PeriodicalId":114755,"journal":{"name":"International Thermal Spray Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126609137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This demand has progressively increased, and the trend shows a further growth in the need for thermal spray feedstock for HVAF sprayed net shape coatings. The challenge for powder producers lies in providing suitable spray powders, with high and consistent quality as well as in considerable volume, to be able to make reliable recommendations to the users of HVAF technology.
