Abstract
Thick Y-Ba-Cu-O and Er-Ba-Cu-O coatings were deposited by plasma spraying onto nickel substrates. These plasma-sprayed coatings were laser melted to modify their microstructures. The effects of primary processing conditions, such as linear energy and number of passes, on microstructural modifications were assessed. The microstructure of the as-sprayed coatings was largely transformed to produce a fine Y2O3 dispersion in a Ba-Cu-O matrix. A very low level of coating/substrate interactions can be maintained by appropriate laser processing conditions.
