RT Journal Article T1 Erosion protection of carbon-epoxy composites by plasma-sprayed coatings A1 Alonso, F. A1 Fagoaga, I. A1 Oregui, P. AB This paper deals with the production of plasma-sprayed erosion-resistant coatings on carbon-fibre-epoxy composites, and the study of their erosion behaviour. The heat sensitivity of the composite substrate requires a specific spraying procedure in order to avoid its degradation. In addition, several bonding layers were studied to allow spraying of the protective coatings. Two different functional coatings were sprayed onto an aluminium-glass bonding layer, a WC-12Co cermet and an Al2O3 ceramic oxide. The microstructure and properties of these coatings were studied and their erosion behaviour determined experimentally in an erosion-testing device.
