Abstract Aluminium oxide is relatively cheap material, abundant almosteverywhere and therefore it is widely used for thermal sprayapplications. Various alumina based powder containing 13 wt. Titania, two different 40 wt.% Zirconia and three differentcompositions of alumina-zirconia-chromia were deposited byatmospheric plasma spraying (APS) and high power plasma spraying(HPPS). The coatings obtained were evaluated by optical microscopy,microhardness measurements, X-ray diffraction and porositymeasurements. Moreover, abrasion and friction wear resistance wereevaluated by using Pin-on-Disc machine. Microhardness values of APScoatings are relatively high as compared to HPPS coatings except inalumina-zirconia-chromia coatings. HPPS have higher hardness values.APS coatings are much coarser and show higher porosity values thanHPPS coatings. The best wear/friction behaviour exhibited coatingAl2O3-40 wt.% ZrO2 that deposited from agglomerated andsintered powder type.
