TL;DR
This study explores using flash boiling atomization to spray high-concentration titanium oxide suspensions with a high-power plasma torch, examining how power and concentration affect deposit quality and efficiency.
Contribution
The novel use of flash boiling atomization for high-concentration suspensions in plasma spraying is introduced and evaluated.
Findings
At low torch power, higher solid concentrations reduced deposition efficiency and increased unmelted particles.
High torch power improved deposition efficiency with dense deposits even at 70 wt% concentration.
XRD analysis showed anatase phase percentages ranging from 35.7% to 66.9% depending on power and concentration.
Abstract
The main objective of this study was to use flash boiling atomization as a new method to inject suspensions with high solid content into the high-power plasma flow. The water-based suspension was prepared with submicron titanium oxide particles with an average size of 500 nm. The investigated solid concentrations were 20, 40, 55 and 70 wt%. Two plasma torches operated at 33, 70 and 110 kW were used to investigate the effect of increasing power on the deposited microstructure and deposition efficiency. At low torch power, the deposition efficiency decreased with increasing solid concentration, and deposits with a high number of unmelted particles were obtained with 70 wt% suspensions. At high torch power, the deposition efficiency increased with increasing solid concentration, and dense deposits were obtained with 70 wt% suspensions. XRD analysis was performed on all deposits to…
