Erosion Characteristics of HVOF Developed Cr3C2-NiCr and WC-Co Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Erosion behavior of the high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) deposited Cr3C2-NiCr and WC-Co coatings on boiler tube steels was evaluated. The solid particle erosion study was conducted, using an air jet erosion test rig at a velocity of 26 m/s and impingement angles of 300 and 900, on uncoated as well as HVOF spray coated boiler tube steels at 250°C. The coatings are significantly harder than the substrate steel and less porous. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique was used to analyze the eroded surface. Mass loss of the coatings was found higher than the boiler tube steel.
