Abstract:
The plasma-spray coating was physically modeled, empirically approximated and numerically simulated in Monte Carlo method, based on scanning electron microscopy images of its microstructures. The impact of the synthesis conditions, including but not limited to the size and velocity of impinging particles, nozzle-substrate distance, and nozzle s scanning speed, on the microstructures of the coatings was investigated. The simulated results show that the size and speed of impinging droplets and nozzle-substrate distance significantly affect the surface roughness and porosity of the coatings with randomly distributed pores. For example, as the size and velocity of the sprayed powder increased, the surface roughness and porosity of the coatings decreased, being weakly affected at a velocity faster than 160 m/s. An increase of the nozzle-substrate distance also reduced the surface roughness and porosity.
