Effect of feedstock powder characteristics on microstructure and mechanical properties of lanthanum silicate coatings deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying
Lanthanum silicate coatings were deposited onto stainless steel substrates by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using mechanically mixed (type A) and calcined feedstock (type B) powders. The phase composition, microstructure, density and porosity of coatings prepared from the two types of powder were compared. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
