For high temperature applications, ceramic coatings are plasma-sprayed onto various substrates. Plasma-spraying of ceramics onto non-conductive polymer surfaces often results in coatings which are poorly adherent. Adherent, non-spalling, ceramic layers can be achieved by first coating the non-conductive surface with an adhesively bonded, more conductive layer. It is postulated that the resulting more conductive coating is sufficient to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges which can act to repel the plasma-sprayed particles. After the more conductive layer is applied (a bond coat may be employed, but is generally unnecessary), the ceramic powders are plasma-sprayed.
