Abstract
This paper deals with an experimental investigation on the process of atmospheric plasma spraying of high performance ceramics such as Al2O3 , Al2O3-TiO2, and PSZ on a steel substrate. The ceramic coatings were deposited under different spray conditions and optimal spray parameter s were evaluated based on the quality of the coating judged in terms o f bond strength and porosity. An expert system, using the above experi mental data, developed in Borland C has been demonstrated.
