Adaptive Control of the Atmospheric Plasma Spray Process for Functionally Graded Thermal Barrier Coatings

Figure 11

For the two desired graded compositions of the coating exhibited in row 1 and without using a controller, the effect of disturbances in the arc voltage is shown in row 2 on the averaged z-locations of NiCrAlY and ZrO₂ particles depicted in row 3 and their MPSs shown in rows 4 and 5.
