Abstract The paper presents the computational studies on microstructure of WC-Co-Cr coatings deposited by High Velocity Oxy Fuel spraying (HVOF). study covers porosity assessment according to ASTM E2109-01 standard, carried out in ImageJ software, terms volume porosity, size and shape pores. evaluation was preceded scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations at magnifications 2000x 5000x. A...

Abstract A growing understanding of wear behavior various thermally sprayed ceramic–metallic matrix coatings has occurred over recent years. This resulted from the continuous evolution in spraying methods as well material feedstock, and corresponding new aspects field that have been thoroughly explored. paper aims to review developments tungsten carbide-based coatings, with specific emphasis on...

The phenomenon of cavitation is widely experienced in both pumps and under-water components of hydro power plants. The mechanism of material damage during cavitation is mainly attributed to implosion of high velocity bubbles on to the surface giving raise to local increase in stresses in excess of 1.4 GPa. In addition, material wastage due to particle induced erosion is observed in hydro plants...

We have deposited a series of WC–Co coatings by the high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) process, using three different powders, and different spray conditions. The powders are a nanocrystalline (Nanocarb), a near-nanostructured powder (Infralloy) containing a proprietary additive aimed at retarding grain growth, and multimodal (mixed micro and nano) powder (Nanomyte). HVOF spray conditions were stoic...

High-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray coating plays a major role in many surface treatment methods, which tend to improve erosion and corrosion resistance properties. HVOF is well known for its dense high-quality ability. This due the less in-flight exposure time, tends have oxide content because of high-velocity Among number process parameters, porosity hardness are predominant factors while con...

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...
