The influence of input power on sprayed powder and final coating was quantified for a water-stabilized plasma spray torch (WSP®) and ceramic coating formed from titanium dioxide (TiO2). All other spray setup parameters were secured during the experiment with electric supply power as the only variable factor. In-flight particles were characterized by a Doppler particle velocimetry, the microstructure of the coatings was observed by microscopic techniques with computer image analysis, and phase composition was studied by X-ray diffraction. Various mechanical properties were measured – microhardness, surface roughness, and wear resistance in a slurry. Also other particular physical characteristics of the coatings – reflectivity and bandgap energy – were observed in their dependence on the supply power because they are associated with applications of the coatings. The higher the power the higher the coating quality will be: both its microstructure and mechanical performance. This substantial difference has the same trend for both power supplies utilized for the testing.
