There are a lot of technologically interesting characteristics of glass-ceramics, which are hard, wear resistant, oxidation and corrosion resistant ceramic materials. In the present study, the production of the basalt-based glass-ceramic coating by atmospheric plasma spray technique and their structural characterization were reported. Basalt-based glass coating was performed on AISI 1040 steel substrate which was pre-coated with Ni-5 wt% Al by using plasma spray gun. Basalt coatings of the glass form were crystallized at 800, 900 and 1000 °C for 1-4 h in orders to transform to the glass-ceramic structure. The presence of augite [(CaFeMg)-SiO 3 ], diopside [Ca(Mg 0.15 Fe 0.85 )(SiO 3 ) 2 ] and aluminian diopside [Ca(Mg,Al)(Si,Al) 2 O 6 ] crystalline phases formed in the basaltbased glass-ceramic coating layer was detected by X-ray diffraction analysis. Optical microscopy with micrometer was used for metallographic examinations. Differential scanning calorimeter was used for determining the crystallization temperature of glass form basalt-based coatings. Microhardness measurements were carried out on the basalt-based glass-ceramic coating layer with Vickers indenter. The hardness of coating layers is changing between 1009 and 1295 HV 0.05 depending on crystallization temperature and process times. It was found that, the higher the crystallization temperature, the more the crystalline phases were resulted. In addition, the lower the crystallization temperature and the longer the treatment time, the harder the coating layer became.
