  • Thermally sprayed coatings from the single oxides and binary compositions of the Al(2)O(3)-Cr(2)O(3)-TiO(2) system show multifunctional properties. Ternary compositions are promising for further improvement in their performance. The stability of the composition during coating formation is an important issue for blended feedstock powders in order to obtain the desired properties. This work focuses on the compositional changes of a ternary blend of Al(2)O(3), Cr(2)O(3) and TiO(x) powders of equal content by mass in a conventional atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) process using an Ar/H(2) plasma gas mixture. By increasing the argon flow rate at constant hydrogen flow rate, the total plasma gas flow rate and the Ar/H(2) ratio were varied. For the highest argon flow rate, this resulted in an average particle velocity of 140% and an average particle temperature of 90% of the initial values, respectively. Coating composition and microstructure were studied by optical microscopy, SEM, including EDS analyses, and XRD. In addition, the coating hardness and electrical impedance were also measured. Differences in the “difficulty of melting factor” (DMF) and the thermal diffusivity of the three oxides appear to be responsible for the dramatic change of the coating composition with an increasing argon flow rate. For the highest argon flow rate applied, besides TiO(2), the coating contains only 8 wt.% Al(2)O(3), while the Cr(2)O(3) content remained almost constant. At the same time, the change of the Ar/H(2) ratio resulted in the formation of stoichiometric TiO(2) in the coating by oxidation of TiO(x) in the feedstock powder. Moreover, a small content of titanium was found in the Cr(2)O(3) splats, showing that there are only limited interactions between the large oxide powder particles. Thus, the study has shown that stability of the chemical composition during spraying of ternary powder blends is strongly influenced by the process conditions.
