Plasma-spraying was conducted to produced the microwave absorbing surface films on the alumi-num-alloy used for the fuselage to protect the aircraft against the RADAR detction. The surface films were produced by plasma-splaying the mecharucally mixed composite powders of the silicon carblde and Ni-Zn ferrite. This M /W absorbers were designed experimentally and fabricated trialty, as a result of which the rolative frequency bandwidth of 7.6 to 8.4% were obtained under the tolerance limits of the re-flection coefficients lower than -6dB(absorption ratio 75%), and the maximum absorption thickness becomes 0.5 to 0.5.imm, which Is much thinner than that of the conventional ones.

The microstructure of nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders coating layer on ZrO$_2$ substrate was investigated, which was formed by plasma spray process. The nano-sized HAp powders were successfully synthesized by precipitation of Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$$.$4H$_2$O and (NH$_4$)$_2$HPO$_4$ solution. The HAp coating layer with thickness of 150∼250 $\mu\textrm{m}$ was free from the cracks at interfaces between the coating and ZrO$_2$ substrate. In the plasma sprayed HAp coating layer, the undesirable phases were not found, while in the HAp coating layer heat-treated at 800$^{\circ}C$, TTCP, and ${\beta}$-TCP phase were detected as well as HAp phase. However, at 900$^{\circ}C$, they were completely disappeared. At 1100$^{\circ}C$, XRD analysis revealed that the coating layer was composed of the highly crystallized HAp.

This research was performed on a microfilter made of a hybrid material (ceramic + metal) that was coated with ceramics on the metal-filter surface by using the thermal spray method. The ceramic powders used were $Al_2O_3+40TiO_2$ powder with a particle size of $20{\mu}m$ and $Al_2O_3$ (98%+)powder with a particle size of $45{\mu}m$. The metal filters were filter-grade $20{\mu}m$, $30{\mu}m$, and $50{\mu}m$ sintered metal powder filters (SIKA-R 20 IS, 30 IS, 50 IS; Sinter Metals Filters) and filter-grade $75{\mu}m$ sintered mesh filter with five layers. Ceramic-coated filters that were coated using the thermal spray method had a great influence on powder material, particle size, and coating thickness. However, these filters showed a fine performance when used as micro-filters.

Al-SiC$_{p}$ composite layer was prepared by plasma thermal spray on aluminum substrate using composite powder prepared by mechanical alloying. Mechanically alloyed powder was achieved after 24 h milling, which was used for thermal spray coating. The correlations between process conditions and thickness/porosity were analyzed, and increase of hardness was confirmed. The presence of Al-Si-C-O compound was detected by TEM analysis.

Oxide powders of $Cr_2O_3 \;and\;Cr_2O_3+3{\%}TiO_2$ were prepared by spray drying, plasma densification and fused+crushed processes. The oxide coating layers were made by plasma spray and characterized by microstructure, hardness, adhesion strength and relative density. The optimum spray distance for the high quality coatings by spraying dried powders was found to be 9cm. A small amount addition of $TiO_2\;in\;Cr_2O_3$ powder significantly improved coating characteristics by lowering the melting point of powders. The hardness and relative density of coating layers of the plasma densified powders were comparable to fused and crushed powders, however, the adhesion strength was much higher in the former case.

Far infrared ceramic/aluminum composite powders for thermal spray were fabricated by spray drying method and investigated the characteristics of the plasma sprayed coating layers, I.e. microstructure, phases, thermal shock resistance and spectral emissivity. The shape of the spray dried composite powder was spherical and the particle size distribution was 34~105${\mu}m $. Aluminum was distributed homogeneously in the spray dried composite powder. Spectral emissivity of the plasma sprayed coating layer ranges from 3 to 14${\mu}m $ whereas spectral emissivity of the raw ceramic powder ranges from 8 to 14${\mu}m $. And then spectral emissivity of the coatings was better than that of the raw powder but spectral emissivity was decreased with increasing aluminum content. It was found that aluminum content ranging from 20 to 30wt% was suitable for fabricating far-infrared radiator by plasma spraying method.

In this study, HfC was coated on two types of carbon/carbon composites coated with SiC by vacuum plasma spraying(VPS). The experiment was performed using a plasma wind tunnel with heat flux of 5.06 MW/㎡ for 120 s heat flux before and after the coating. The mass ablation rate was calculated through the mass change before and after the test, and the length change was measured by using calipers and high speed camera. The oxidation/ablation behavior were observed by FE-SEM with EDS analysis of the specimens cross section. The plasma wind tunnel test results showed that the coated specimens had low weight loss and length change, and high oxidation/ablation resistance. However, two types of the specimens tested under the same conditions were different in the ablation behavior and ablation rate, and it was evaluated that the cylindrical type had higher oxidation/ablation resistance.
