Development of Metal/Ceramic Nanocomposite Powder and Consolidation to Bulk Nanocomposite Components with Retained Nanostructures: Effect of Plasma Spray Parameters in Nanostructure Retention in Bulk Composites
Abstract
This report summarizes the challenges for the optimization of the plasma spray parameters for manufacturing a dense ceramic nanocomposite. Various design parameters have been developed to achieve a high density bulk composite part. To prove the feasibility of the plasma spray toward nano-manufacturing of different shape and size parts, a large component with the ONR logo has been created with two dissimilar materials. The newly developed method named as plasma pen lithography (PPL), was shown useful for design of large scale bulk components. The microstructure of the as-designed parts was characterized using advanced SEM, FIB and TEM techniques to visualize the retained nanostructures in the composite.
