The document summarizes a study that deposited ceramic coatings of TiO2, ZrO2, and TiO2+40%ZrO2 on aluminum 6061T6 substrates using atmospheric plasma spraying. Coatings were deposited at thicknesses of 100, 150, and 200 μm. Tests found that ZrO2 coatings exhibited the best wear resistance and highest hardness. SEM analysis showed ZrO2 coatings withstood wear better than the aluminum substrate or other coatings. The study concluded ZrO2 coatings provided the best performance and wear resistance compared to TiO2 and TiO2+40%ZrO2 coatings for aluminum applications.
