Abstract

Pores included in plasma-sprayed zirconia coatings have been classified into four types: inter-splat cracks, globular pores, segment cracks and branch cracks, according to the dimension, geometry and formation mechanism of the pores. Thermal conductivities of three samples produced under different atmospheric plasma spraying conditions with similar total porosity but different volume fractions of each type of pores were measured. Different thermal conductivities were observed. Dependences of thermal conductivity on volume fraction of each type of pores and the geometry of the pores were simulated by a multi-stepped finite element method, which shows that effect of pores on thermal conductivity depends on the shape and dimension of the pores.
