Process Parameter Impact on Suspension-HVOF-Sprayed Cr2O3 Coatings

Study of Wear Behaviour of Hvof and Cold Sprayed Coatings on Boiler Steels

In this study two commonly used steels in boiler plants, i.e. (SAE-213) T-22 and SA516 (Grade-70) were coated with different thermal spray processes namely HVOF and cold spray. The coating powder used was made up of NiCrTiCRe powder. The performance of the coated as well as uncoated material was investigated using a pin-on-disc machine [Model: Wear and Friction Monitor Tester TR-20], supplied b...

Suspension Plasma Sprayed Titanium Oxide and Hydroxyapatite Coatings

The paper aims at development of TiO2, Ca5(PO4)3OH (hydroxyapatite, HA) and their multilayer coatings onto stainless steel, titanium and aluminum substrate using suspension plasma spraying. The total thickness of the coatings was in the range 10 to 150 μm. The suspension on the base of distilled water, ethanol and their mixtures was formulated with the use of fine commercial TiO2 pigment crysta...

Failure analysis of suspension plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings

Sintering of Fine Particles in Suspension Plasma Sprayed Coatings

Suspension plasma spraying is a process that enables the production of finely grained nanometric or submicrometric coatings. The suspensions are formulated with the use of fine powder particles in water or alcohol with some additives. Subsequently, the suspension is injected into plasma jet and the liquid additives evaporate. The remaining fine solids are molten and subsequently agglomerate or ...

Hot corrosion behavior of HVOF-sprayed CoNiCrAlYSi coatings in a sulphate environment

HVOF-sprayed CoNiCrAlYSi coatings were tested at 900 °C in a hot corrosion environment containing sodium-potassium sulphates. The HVOF spraying caused the typical splat-on-splat structure. The results after the hot corrosion testing showed that the corrosion preferentially occurred at the coating surface and the splat boundaries. The oxidation along the splat boundaries can isolate the splat fr...
