Abstract: The aim of the invention is to produce complete high temperature fuel cells by means of thermal injection processes (e.g. atmospheric plasma injection, vacuum plasma injection, high speed flame injection). The production method is especially simplified and is economical by virtue of the fact that the carrier substrate is also produced on a base with the aid of a thermal injection method. The base or an intermediate layer placed thereon can be advantageously dissolved or decomposed such that the carrier substrate provided with layers arranged thereon can be separated in a very simple manner from the base which becomes unnecessary. Said method advantageously enables the production of all layers of a high temperature fuel cell, exclusively with the aid of a thermal injection method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a thin dense ceramic layer on a substrate by means of atmospheric plasma spraying, whereby the following steps are carried out: a) the substrate is pre-heated to a temperature corresponding to at least a quarter of the melting point of the ceramic for application in Kelvin, b) a ceramic powder or a ceramic powder mixture with d50-values of less than 50 gm is used as spray adjunct, c) particle speeds at incidence on the substrate of more than 200 m/s are set, d) particle temperatures are set such that on incidence on the substrate surface the particles have a temperature at least 5% above the melting point of the ceramic for application in Kelvin, e) the amount of the spray adjunct and passage speed of the plasma burner are set such that on a single pass of the substrate a layer thickness of less than 100 ?m is achieved, f) a thin and also gas-tight layer is generated on the substrate with a single pass of the substrate which has a leakage rate of less th
