Abstract
In thermal spraying, molten particles strike a solid surface, where they are flattened and quenched within a very short time. Considerable in-plane tensile stress on the order of 100 MPa can develop within each splat during quenching after solidification because thermal contraction of the particle is constrained by the underlying solid. Ni-20Cr alloy and alumina powders have been plasma sprayed in air onto steel substrates that were maintained at about 473 K. The influence of spraying conditions such as spray distance on the magnitude of the quenching stress have been studied by measuring the curvature of the substrate during spraying. Mechanical properties such as Young’s modulus and bend strength of the deposited coatings have also been measured. A strong correlation was found between the quenching stress and the strength of Ni-20Cr coatings, which suggests that the strength of interlamellar bonding limits the quenching stress at such temperature.
