Arc-Spraying Composite Coatings on Mild Steel for Long-Term High-Temperature Oxidation Protection

Abstract:

An arc-spraying composite coating system for high-temperature oxidation protection is composed of an inner Fe-Cr-Al alloy layer and an Al-Si alloy outer layer. The high-temperature oxidation behavior of the composite coatings on steel substrate was studied during isothermal exposures in air at 900°C. Experiments show that the coatings on steel substrate are not deteriorated and the substrate is protected well, being exposed to high temperatures up to 900°C. Inter diffusion of alloying elements within the protective coatings occur, while the elements, Cr and Al, are also diffusing to the core of the base metal. As test time proceeds, a large number of chromium oxides are generated in situ within the protective coatings, especially close to the coating/substrate interface. The oxides generated increase the bond strength of the coating to the steel substrate, and together with the surface alumina they provide a long-term effective anti-oxidant protection to steel substrate. The results on titanium sponge production site show that the protective coatings on the reactor have provided an effective protection and prolong the lifetime at least forty percent for the reactors.
