Abstract
The FABERCOAT Decision Support System (DSS) is a design tool for the production of plasma-sprayed coatings developed in a CEC project among European universities, laboratories and manufacturing industries. The FABERCOAT system utilises a genetic algorithm to find a set of spray settings which can be used to achieve one particular set of desired final (and measurable) properties of the coating. At present, these desired outcomes are based on specific industrial requirements based on total porosity demands and most frequent porosity aspect ratio. The FABERCOAT system includes a model for the plasma spray manufacturing process developed and validated within the CEC project. The model has been used to “harvest” the information gained in the extensive production and characterisation programme of the CEC project and has provided an innovative way of feeding back this information to the end-users.
