Abstract
The mechanical behavior of nanostructured partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) coatings was evaluated via Knoop microhardness. The distribution of the microhardness values of the feedstock particles and coatings under a 10 g load were analyzed via Weibull statistics. The percentage of non-molten material was determined using scanning electron microcopy and image analysis. It was observed that the nanostructured coatings present a bimodal distribution in their Weibull plots, indicating the presence of two phases which are described as molten and non-molten. The presence of the bimodal distribution in the mechanical properties allows the prediction of microhardness values of these nanostructured coatings.
