Abstract
A process for forming a ceramic coating on a substrate, such as a turbine engine component includes the steps of providing a substrate, creating a plasma which preheats the substrate, and forming a ceramic coating by injecting a powder feedstock into the plasma. The ceramic coating forming step comprises depositing ceramic particles having a mean size in the range of from 100 to 150 microns at constant particle morphology.
