Abstract

The microstructures of thick plasma-sprayed yttria-stabilized zirconia deposits were discussed. The deposits were studied in a series of Porod small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and multiple small-angle neutron scattering (MSANS) experiments. The study was focused on gaining a better understanding of the effects of initial feedstock particle size and annealing temperatures on the microstructure of deposits.
