The composition and photocatalytic activity of plasma sprayed TiO2 coatings were investigated systematically. The content of anatase TiO2 in the sprayed coatings was approximate to 7%- 15%, which was influenced by the melting state of TiO2 powder in plasma spraying process. The surface of sprayed coating was very rough and the arithmetical mean deviation of the surface profiles (Ra) was in the range of 5.7 - 8.8 μm. Under lower arc current, the surface of the coating became rougher. The anatase to rutile phase transformation temperature of agglomerated anatase TiO2 powder was approximate to 1 173 K. The TiO2 coating sprayed under the arc current of 400 A had good photocatalytic activity for the relative high content of anatase phase in it. It is concluded that the application of plasma spraying technique to environmental field has been developed.展开更多

The Overall sources system was composed of a 200 W 2.45 GHz microwave source, a coastal 3A./4 TEM-mode microwave resonance applicator, column and cylindrical Nd-Fe-P magnets, a quartz bell-shaped discharge chamber, a gas inlet system and a plasma-diffusing bore. The preliminary experiment demonstrated that ambi-polar diffusion plasma stream into the simulator (-500 mm long) formed an environment with following parameters: a plasma density ne of 104 cm-3 - 106 cm-3, an electron temperature Te < 5 eV at a pressure P of 10-1 Pa-10-3 Pa, a Plasma uniformity of > 80% over the experimental target with a 160-mm-in-diameter, satisfying primarily the requirement of simulating in a severe ionosphere environment.展开更多

In the simulator, a 2.45 GHz microwave source with maximum power of 600 W was launched into the circular cavity to generate ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) plasma. The oxygen ion beam moved onto a negatively biased Mo plate under the condition of symmetry magnetic mirror field confine, then was neutralized and reflected to form oxygen atom beam. The properties of plasma density, electron temperature, plasma space potential and ion incident energy were characterized. The atomic oxygen beam flux was calibrated by measuring the mass loss rate of Kapton during the atomic oxygen exposure. The test results show that the atomic oxygen beam with flux of 1016-1017 atoms-cm-2·s-1 and energy of 5-30 eV and a cross section of φ80 mm could be obtained under the operating pressure of 10-1-10-3 Pa. Such a high flux source can provide accelerated simulation tests of materials and coatings for space applications.展开更多
