Performance Comparison of Atmospheric Plasma Spraying and Plasma Spraying Physical Vapor Deposition for Environmental Barrier Coatings Free

The commonly used method for preparing EBCs is atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), but it has problems such as easy oxidation of the coating, low spraying power, and low substrate temperature, resulting in the coating having multiple pores, cracks, and insufficient density. The new plasma spraying physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD) technology can solve these problems. This article compares the microstructure, mechanical properties, and phase composition of EBCs prepared using APS and PS-PVD processes.
