Preparation of perovskite powders and coatings by radio frequency suspension plasma spraying
Tóm tắt
Perovskite-type LaMnO3 powders and coatings have been prepared by a novel technique: reactive suspension plasma spraying (SPS) using an inductively coupled plasma of approximately 40 kW plate power and an oxygen plasma sheath gas. Suitable precursor mixtures were found on the basis of solid state reactions, solubility, and the phases obtained during the spray process. Best results were achieved by spraying a suspension of fine MnO2 powder in a saturated ethanol solution of LaCl3 with a 1 to 1 molar ratio of lanthanum and manganese. A low reactor pressure was helpful in diminishing the amount of corrosive chlorine compounds in the reactor. As-sprayed coatings and collected powders showed perovskite contents of 70 to 90%. After a posttreatment with an 80% oxygen plasma, an almost pure LaMnO3 deposit was achieved in the center of the incident plasma jet.
