“…Available literatures on 'YSZ coating over metallic substrates' reveal that significant number of attempts have been made with nickel based Superalloys such as Inconel TM 718, Hastelloy TM X, Inconel TM 601, Inconel TM 625, and Inconel TM 738 LC [29][30][31]. Among the various techniques tried, plasma spray route [17,18,31] is found to yield the best results in terms of excellent thermal, mechanical and chemical properties of the coating, suitable for specific applications in jet engines, gas turbines, diesel engines, etc.…”
