Ar2900 clusters with energy in the range of 10.4–69 keV were used to bombard the surface of pressed Si nanopowder targets. High nonmonotonic sputtering yield is observed within the energy range of 10.4–34.5 keV, which is considered as enhanced by the finite size effect of the target ...
Recently, thermal plasmas have been used widely for processing of ceramic materials such as powder synthesis [1], [2], preparation of films [3], [4] and rapid sintering [5]. Since thermal plasmas have extremely high temperature and large thermal gradients with an arbitrary atmosphere, materials...
The electrical conductivity measurements revealed that a variation of the phase content in the YSZ–NiO–Ni composites is responsible for the existence of different electrical conduction mechanism and rapid change in the conductivity of coatings with the used powder content. The surface morphology and ...
•Since the suction type feedstock feeder was proved to be available not only for feedstock powder but also liquid precursor feedstock, APS/SPPS dual mode thermal spray equipment was successfully developed.•It was proved that lamellar structure alumina and titania films with practical strength ...
