 Abstract:

Hybrid coatings represent a new class of thermally sprayed materials, where the feedstock is injected in the form of powder and liquid, i. e. suspension and/or solution. This concept provides combination of high deposition rate (due to spraying of coarse dry powders) and miniature splats (due to atomization of the liquid phase). Moreover, combination of dissimilar materials may provide further synergic effect leading to enhanced coating functionality. In this study, mechanical response of the multiphase hybrid coatings prepared by hybrid water-stabilized (WSP-H) plasma torch will be evaluated namely by cavitation test (ASTM G32) complemented by conventional adhesion/cohesion test (ASTM C633), microstructural observations and failure analysis. Results will be correlated to conventional and instrumented indentation results. Potential benefits of introduction of miniature secondary phase splats into the coatings microstructure will be discussed.
