The article presents a new technology of thermal barrier coating deposition called Plasma Spray – Physical Vapour Deposition (PS-PVD). The key feature of the process is the option of evaporating ceramic powder, which enables the deposition of a columnar ceramic coating. The essential properties of the PS-PVD process have been outlined, as well as recent literature references. In addition, the influence of a set of process conditions on the properties of the deposited coatings has been described. The new plasma-spraying PS-PVD method is a promising technology for the deposition of modern thermal barrier coatings on aircraft engine turbine blades.
