 Title:
Low pressure plasma sprayed zirconium metal diffusion barrier coatings

 Authors:
Kendall Hollis* / Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA

 Abstract:
Zirconium metal coatings applied by low pressure plasma spray have been investigated for use as a diffusion barrier coating. The coatings have been applied to both stainless steel and uranium alloy substrates. Spray parameter development accompanied by coating characterization has been performed. Coating density, deposit efficiency, chemical composition and bonding characteristics as functions of spray parameters are presented.
