✦ Synopsis
Young's modulus and hardness were determined by depth sensing indentation in plasma sprayed Al 2 O 3 -13% TiO 2 nanocoatings. Results were compared to conventional coatings and the relevance of the nanostructure was analyzed. An indentation size effect was observed. Data provided by indentation tests at different maximum loads were used to estimate size-independent hardness and elastic modulus. Enhanced properties were observed in the nanostructured coating compared to the conventional one. Partially melted zones in the nanocoating, which act as reinforcements in the ceramic matrix composite, are likely responsible for the enhancement.

Nanostructured Al 2 O 3 -13 wt.% TiO 2 coating was fabricated by plasma spray with nanocrystalline powders and the microstructures of the feedstock and the coating were characterized by means of XRD, SEM and TEM. It was found that three forms of substructure existed in the coating: one evolving from
Deposit profiles of alumina-titania powder are studied as a function of some atmospheric plasma spraying parameters. Design of experiments was applied to select the prevailing parameters taking into account their roles in the plasma generation and in the powder injection. Experimental results permit
