Plasma spraying is a cost effective method for protecting materials and components against severe operational environments. As the demand for more specific properties of coatings increases, it is necessary to study the relationships between plasma spray parameters and the final coating properties. In this study the influence of six input plasma spray parameters on splat formation and final alumina coating properties was investigated.
