Perovskite Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O-3, BMT has promising bulk properties (thermal conductivity similar to 2 W/m-K and coefficient of thermal expansion similar to 11 x 10(-6)/K at 1473 K) for thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications at high temperature. However, during atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), such material was found to lose constituents due to the differences of vapor pressures resulting to non-stoichiometric composition of deposited coatings. To investigate the extent of phase decomposition at spray distance and varying electric arc current, different feedstock powders were plasma sprayed into water and collected for chemical, microstructural and phase analyses. When the electric arc current was decreased from 500 A to 300 A, the decomposition of the powders was reduced and the microstructure of the deposited coatings was improved. The thermal cycling lifetime of the deposited coatings at similar to 1250 degrees C surface temperature is also higher.
