Abstract
This paper investigates the microstructure and corrosion resistance of Hastelloy C-276 and 316L coatings produced by various thermal spray methods, including arc spraying, flame spraying, HVOF spraying, and a recently developed method called high-velocity combustion wire spraying. The microstructures of the coatings were examined before and after corrosion testing in order to gain information on corrosion mechanisms. Several corrosion tests were performed on each sample and various coating properties were measured including thickness, hardness, oxygen content, porosity, and adhesion strength. Test results for sealed coatings and detached layers are also presented in the paper, giving additional insight into corrosion behavior. Paper includes a German-language abstract.
