Atmospheric plasma spray (APS) coatings are successfully used in many industrial applications, where high wear and corrosion resistance with thermal insulation are required. Critical plasma spraying parameters (CPSP) is a key factor to control the quality of coatings. In this study, alumina-3 wt% titania coatings were prepared by APS torch at three different CPSP conditions (384.09, 469.44, and 563.33) on AISI 304 L stainless steel substrate. The microstructure, sliding wear rates, and porosity of the alumina-3 wt% titania composite coatings were investigated and correlated to CPSP conditions. The obtained results show that increasing the critical plasma spraying parameters increases the hardness and anti-wear behaviour of alumina-3 wt% titania coating.
