Abstract
Air plasma sprayed Al2O3 coatings on metallic substrates suffer from porosities and metastable polymorphs. In this study, laser treatment employed to improve the coating properties resulted in transformation of the as-sprayed coating predominantly consisting of metastable γ-Al2O3 into thermodynamically stable α-Al2O3 phase with enhanced microhardness and reduced surface roughness.
