Abstract:
A YSZ-type ceramic layer is deposited on a tie sublayer by thermal spraying using a plasma arc torch, said tie sublayer being itself deposited on the part to be protected. A sintering post treatment is carried out by means of a sweep of the ceramic layer by the beam of the plasma arc torch, the temperature at the point of impact of the beam at the surface of the ceramic layer (C) being, during this sweep, between 1300° C. and 1700° C.
