%0 Journal Article %T The PS-PVD method - formation of columnar TBCs on CMSX-4 superalloy %A M. GĻŪral %A S. Kotowski %A M. Drajewicz %A J. Sieniawski %J Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering %D 2012 %I World Academy of Materials and Manufacturing Engineering %X Purpose: The new plasma spraying method.Design/methodology/approach: The single crystal CMSX-4 nickel alloy was used as base material. The diffusion aluminide layer was deposited during the CVD process and was used as bond-coat. The zirconium oxide stabilized by yttrium oxide was utilized as the deposition material.Findings: It was proved, that there is a possibility of obtaining the ceramic layer using the PS-PVD process.Research limitations/implications: The thickness analysis and the chemical composition analysis by light and scanning electron microscopy were performed.Practical implications: This process can be used in aerospace industry to form oxidation resistant coatings.Originality/value: In article Plasma Spraying Physical Vapour Deposition Process was described. %K Metallic alloys %K Ceramic and glass %K Corrosion %K Technological design %K Thin and Thick Coatings %K Surface treatment %U http://journalamme.org/papers_vol55_2/582106.pdf
