Abstract: The nanostructured and conventional ZrO2 coatings were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying
technique (APS). The influence of the grain size and shape of feedstock and spraying parameters on the ZrO2 coating was examined. The deposition
efficiency, roughness and Vikers microhardness of two kinds of ZrO2 coatings were measured. The obtained results reveal that the nanostructured ZrO2 coating possesses high and stable deposition
efficiency, more uniform microstructure, higher Vikers microhardness and lower roughness than that of conventional ZrO2 coating.

Key words: plasma spraying, zirconia coating, spraying parameters, microstructure
