Combination Effect of Dry-Ice Blasting and Substrate Preheating on Plasma-Sprayed CoNiCrAlY Splats

摘要

CoNiCrAlY splats were plasma-sprayed on the stainless steel substrate which was pretreated by dry-ice blasting. Only impact marks were distinguished on the glycerol-polluted substrate, while halo donut splats formed on the pretreated substrate because of the cleaning effect of dry-ice blasting on this organic substance. The proportions of different splat types vary as a function of the treatment time of dry-ice blasting. The condensation phenomenon was also detected on the substrate surface accompanying the cleaning effect after the pretreatment of dry-ice blasting. In this study, dry-ice blasting was investigated to be coupled with substrate preheating to control the substrate temperature. It was found that a regular disk-like CoNiCrAlY splat can be obtained as the substrate temperature is higher than dew point temperature.
