Abstract: The W coatings were prepared by applying the vacuum plasma spraying process (VPS). The phase composition, microstructure and laser irradiation property were characterized by XRD, SEM and laser. Results showed that no tungsten oxide appears in the coatings whose phase composition is similar to the original powder. A better melting state of the coating can be obtained by using the finer powder. The deposition efficiency of the coating is higher in the cases of a higher H2 flow. There is a pitch whose size is about 100μm when the substrate was irradiated by laser. However, there is clearly no change for the W coating surface which was also irradiated under the same condition. It indicates that the laser irradiation resistance is improved significantly for stainless steel after being deposited with W coating.

Abstract: Plasma sprayed coatings have been widely applied in modifying surface properties of metal components. It is also useful to prevent various types of wear, corrosion, erosion and thermal. But the residual stress is still an important problem which can effect the properties of sprayed coating. So it’s necessary to find out the reason of residual stress and the relationship between plasma sprayed condition and residual stress. Plasma spray coating layers with conventional ZrO2 powder was examined to calculate residual stress by X-ray diffraction method with various coating thickness.

Abstract: Titanium based anodes are widely used in chlori-alkali industry. Two kinds of titanium based anodes were characterized by using XRD and SEM. The test results of their electrocatalytic properties showed that the nanosize crystals have great effect on the anode’s polarization behaviors and accelerated stability life. The anode with higher content of Ta possessed a smaller crystal size and better electrocatalys

Abstract: TiO2 is a promising photocatalyst due to its excellent photocatalytic activity, physical and chemical stabilities. Plasma spraying technology is good way to prepare for TiO2 coating. The effect of spraying parameters on photocatalytic performance was studied. The results showed that both the amount of unmelted particles and the porosity of as-sprayed TiO2 coatings increased with the increasing of Ar gas flow rate. And the external bias could improve TiO2 coating’s photocatalytical performance. The improvement degree is closed related its grain size and porosity.
