In this study, Ni-20Cr alloy powder was synthesized and deposited on T22 boiler steel by HVOF spraying. Coated and uncoated test samples were placed in a silicon carbide tube furnace and subjected to cyclic oxidation conditions in 900 °C air. Oxidation kinetics were established via weight change measurements and oxidation products were characterized based on XRD and SEM-EDS analysis. The results show that in addition to improving the oxidation resistance of the steel, the Ni-20Cr coatings also reduced spallation due to the formation of a protective Cr2O3 phase.
