Marine Corrosion Performance of HVOF Sprayed Alloy Coatings: Comparison of Field Exposure Test and Laboratory Test

This study examines stainless steel and Hastelloy C coatings sprayed using commercial HVOF equipment. Porosity and oxygen content have been measured under various spray conditions and laboratory corrosion tests have been carried out using electrochemical techniques. The report first summarizes major results obtained in the laboratory evaluation, then presents the results of marine exposure testing for up to six months. It concludes with detailed comparisons between the two. Paper includes a German-language abstract.
