Bond coats play a significant role in manipulating the stability of 8YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) deposited on Mg alloy. In this study, the metal of Ni-Al mixture was sprayed as bond coat via reaction plasma spraying (RPS). Besides, Intermetallic compound NiAl was prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The pure intermetallic compound NiAl was sprayed as bond coat via atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The microstructure, composition, bond stability and corrosion resistance of the produced bond coats were investigated to find the optimal bond coat for the TBCs on ...
