MgCl2/NaCl/KCl salt appeared as a high-potential heat transfer fluid for concentrated solar application, offering wide operating range and low cost. Nevertheless, MgCl2 hydrates atmosphere relative humidity are the limiting factors real scale CSP plant, leading to severe corrosion. Thus, Inconel 617 was tested at 700ºC up 24 h in air simulate punctual failure inertization system of plant. XRD S...

Abstract Surface quality governs the physical, mechanical, tribological, physio-chemical, and biological properties of materials. Considering excellent mechanical characteristics Inconel 617 nature its intended applications, electric discharge machining is generally engaged. However, there still a need to uplift surface machined parts improve their working life performance. Therefore, this stud...

In this study, the effects of mechanical milling and YSZ reinforcing on oxidation behavior of CoNiCrAlY coatings were investigated. Various amounts of YSZ particles (0%, 5%, 10% and 15 wt.%) were mixed with commercial CoNiCrAlY powder and milled for 24 hrs. Then, the mechanically milled and commercial powders were deposited on Inconel 617 substrate using High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) process...
