Fluid handling equipment such as propellers, impellers, pumps posses the inherent risk of flow-dependent erosion-corrosion problems. Though there are many coating materials available to combat erosion-corrosion damage in the above components, iron based amorphous coatings exhibits high erosion-corrosion resistance. High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray process is extensively used to deposit erosion-corrosion resistance amorphous coatings. In this investigation, iron based amorphous metallic coating was deposited on 316 stainless steel using HVOF spray process by varying the parameters such as oxygen flow rate, fuel flow rate, powder feed rate, carrier gas flow rate, and spray distance. Empirical relationships were established to predict the porosity and micro hardness of iron based amorphous coating. Microstructure observations of the coating were done by optical microscope. From the results, it is found that, fuel flow rate and spray distance appeared to be the most significant parameters affecting the mechanical properties of the iron based amorphous coating.

Abstract


Fluid handling equipment such as propellers, impellers, pumps posses the inherent risk of flow-dependent erosion-corrosion problems. Though there are many coating materials available to combat erosion-corrosion damage in the above components, iron based amorphous coatings exhibits high erosion-corrosion resistance. High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray process is extensively used to deposit erosion-corrosion resistance amorphous coatings. In this investigation, iron based amorphous metallic coating was deposited on 316 stainless steel using HVOF spray process by varying the parameters such as oxygen flow rate, fuel flow rate, powder feed rate, carrier gas flow rate, and spray distance. Empirical relationships were established to predict the porosity and micro hardness of iron based amorphous coating. Microstructure observations of the coating were done by optical microscope. From the results, it is found that, fuel flow rate and spray distance appeared to be the most significant parameters affecting the mechanical properties of the iron based amorphous coating.
