Thermal spray deposited Zirconium oxide (or Zirconia, ZrO2) is used in several industrial sectors for various purposes: as thermal barrier for turbine blades, as wear and corrosion resistant coating in industrial applications as well as biomedical applications. This paper reports the results of a study aimed at determining the relation between the plasma spray process conditions and the coating properties. A 24-1 fractional factorial Design of Experiments has been used and the coatings have been characterised in terms of chemical composition, crystal lattice structure and mechanical properties (morphology, porosity, roughness, hardness). Coatings with different characteristics have been obtained depending on the spray parameters combination. We found that it is possible to vary the spraying parameters in such a way to obtain dense, compact Yttria Partially Stabilised ZrO2 deposits which can be useful as wear and corrosion resistant coatings. In other conditions less dense and more porous layers can be obtained, useful for thermal barrier applications.

In order to be suitable for food processing application, besides having the usual characteristics as high adhesion, high cohesion, high compactness and maximum hardness and wear resistance, the thermal spray coating should not release foreign substances, as prescribed by the international standards. This paper defines a very strict procedure according to valid EC and FDA standards in order to test the compatibility of the coating with the food. It discusses the applicability of this test method, in which a contact is created between a food-simulating solvent and the thermally sprayed coating to be analyzed. The inert nature of the drawn migration cell, the adopted time-temperature conditions and the characterization of the coating before and after the migration test are discussed. Paper includes a German-language abstract.

The decomposition of bioactive plasma sprayed apatite layers and the weakness of their interface with the metallic substrate limit the longevity of orthopaedic prostheses. Analysis of the coating and of the metal-apatite interface using EDS, XPS, and IR techniques indicates alterations of the apatite composition which can be related to several chemical reactions occurring either in the plasma or on the surface of the implant. EDS shows a calcium-rich layer on the apatite side of the interface whereas after dissolution of the apatite, XPS indicates that phosphorus atoms are incorporated in the metal surface. Depending on the rate of decomposition, calcium oxide may possibly form and weaken the apatite-metal interface. Fluorohydroxyapatite coating have proven to decompose less and differently and to be more effective than hydroxyapatite coatings.

The paper discusses the testing methodology and identifies the analytical protocols, with proper validation, in order to evaluate the compatibility of thermal spray coatings in the food production technology, according to EU and FDA applicable standards. A brief state-of-the-art analysis of the international standards on food additives and human health is given, namely on indirect food additives (as defined in 21 CFR 170.3(e)), that can migrate into the food during the process. An outline of the test protocols, based on contact between coating and food simulating solvents in a set time/temperature conditions, are presented, and the main phases for the proposed testing methodology, as the choice of the simulating solvent, the migration cell design and the time/temperature conditions, are discussed. Finally the proposed methodology and protocols are validated through a thermal spray coating for food process application test case.

As part of a characterization and mechanical research about hydroxyapatite (HA) plasma deposits for hip prosthesis, we addressed the problem of determining their crystallinity. A traditional normalization method employed by several laboratories is based on X-ray diffraction by a powder mixture of the investigated HA sample with a standard of crystalline powder, namely Al 2 O 3 . This method is quite unsatisfactory, as very often delivers unreasonable results. In order to overcome these difficulties we investigated some new methods for determining the crystallinity of HA sample, which are based on X-ray diffraction. All these methods provide reasonable results.
