Abstract
Metallic systems working at high temperatures are exposed to severe chemical degradation mechanisms, including oxidation and hot corrosion, which lead to performance losses and major decreases in service life. In this study, Woka 7202 powders with Cr3C2–25(80Ni20Cr) composition were coated on a 316 L stainless steel substrate by the HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) technique. The coatings were subjected to isothermal oxidation tests at 900 °C (5, 25, 50 and 100 h) and hot corrosion tests (1, 3 and 5 h) in an aggressive atmosphere containing 55 % V2O5 + 45 % Na2SO4. SEM, EDS and XRD investigations showed that the coating created a thin and stable oxide layer that was continuous at high temperatures and efficiently protected the substrate by keeping its structural integrity during hot corrosion conditions. This comprehensive study covering long-term and multiple conditions, which is rare in the literature, reveals the microstructural stability of the coating in detail and scientifically supports that Cr3C2-NiCr based HVOF coatings can be an effective protective barrier in high temperature applications.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
