Objectives:To implement the Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology to obtain the projection parameters for the deposition of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) on Inconel 625 by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS).
Methodology:A 32 factorial design with three repetitions was implemented, in which the factors were the electrical current and the hydrogen flow rate. The response variables were the mean particle velocity and the particle temperature in flight. Coating quality was evaluated in terms of tetragonal phase content, porosity, and coating thickness.
Results:The samples deposited at 430 A and hydrogen flow rates of 7 and 9 NLPM exhibited the most outstanding characteristics. The sample deposited at 430 A and 7 NLPM of H₂ was subjected to thermal shock tests.
Conclusions:The sample deposited at 430 A and 7 NLPM of H₂ demonstrated superior performance compared to similar coatings reported in the scientific literature.
