Abstract

Aluminum acetylacetonate and water vapor were used to deposit an amorphous A1203 seal coating on Si and CeO2-stabilized ZrO2 (CSZ) produced by air plasma spray. The A1203 coating prepared at ∼500°C was ∼2.5μm thick, uniform, and non-porous. The crystallization and adhesion characteristics of the A1203 coating were examined by thermally annealing the A12 03- coated Si and CSZ substrates in air. The amorphous coating crystallized to metastable A1203 phases within 20 hours at temperatures as low as 700°C. The coating on Si spalled upon annealing whereas the coating on CSZ did not spall, but microcracked extensively due to the significant volume shrinkage associated with crystallization.
