Cavitation is a wear process in engineering systems caused by the energy release of collapsing bubbles leading to the failure of critical components such as valves, pumps, and propellers. Thermally sprayed coatings can be applied to improve the wear resistance of these components. This investigation considers a WC-NiCrBSi coating composition under cavitation wear, where the WC phase provides the strength and the NiCrBSi matrix offers corrosion resistance in seawater. Coatings were deposited on AISI 440C stainless steel discs of 32mm diameter and 8mm thickness using industrially optimized parameters for the HVOF JP5000 system. Indirect cavitation tests were conducted using a modified ASTM G32 testing procedure on coated test coupons in as-sprayed and Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIPed) conditions. Two tests were performed for each coating using natural seawater of pH 8.19 at room temperature, and averaged wear values are reported to compare the cavitation rate and cumulative mass loss of the coatings. Coating microstructural phases in the as-sprayed and HIPed conditions were identified using X-ray diffraction. The microstructure of the coating substrate system and post-cavitation test wear scars were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). This investigation provides an understanding of the corrosive-cavitation wear behavior and failure modes of coatings. The cavitation erosion rate and cumulative mass loss results showed that the as-sprayed WC-NiCrBSi coatings improve the cavitation wear resistance of the substrate.

The development of materials and alloys for coatings has been increasingly important for reducing costs in different manufacturing processes. The Inconel alloy is widely used due to its chemical inertness and high resistance to high temperatures, but it does not present adequate resistance to erosive wear. In this context, the resistance to wear from cavitation erosion and slurry erosion was evaluated of samples with depositions obtained by laser cladding (Laser directed energy deposition - L-DED) of Inconel 718 and Inconel 718+10%NiNb. The cavitation erosion wear tests were carried out following the ASTM G32 standard (2016), and the ASTM G73-10 standard (2017) was used to evaluate the resistance to slurry erosion wear. The scanning electron microscopy technique (SEM-EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the cross-section and the surface after wear. The wear mechanism was checked and identified. Microhardness profiles of the cladding cross-section were carried out. The mass loss and wear rate due to cavitation and slurry jet erosion of Inconel 718 and Inconel 718+ 10% NiNb coatings were determined. It was proven that the addition of 10% NiNb in the formation of the cladding caused a 45% increase in average microhardness in the cross-section of the Inconel 718 cladding. The addition of 10% NiNb to the Inconel 718 cladding caused a decrease in mass loss due to slurry erosion from 38.9 mg to 21.9 mg (33%) when the erodent impact angle was 60°.

Acquisition of a new LVPS and APS coating system at Delta Air Lines necessitated optimization of the coating parameters on both systems, especially for application of bond coat (LVPS) and top coat (APS) for a TBC coating system. To expedite the coating optimization, it was determined that a design of experiments (DOE) approach would best enable the establishment of the operating window for the two systems. Samples prepared were primarily evaluated for their performance while exposed to a cyclic oxidation cycle. Samples were also evaluated for the microstructure and composition using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. Samples from the ceramic coating DOE were also evaluated for their erosion characteristics. Results indicate a low correlation between the individual bond coat parameters evaluated to the furnace cycle life. However, the top coat spray parameters were found to have a greater correlation to furnace cycle life and erosion performance.

In this work, a novel liquid fuel HVOF process fueled with ethanol was used to prepare 75wt%Cr 3 C 2 –25wt%NiCr coatings on AISI304 stainless steel substrate. Taguchi method was employed to optimize the spray parameters (ethanol flow rate, oxygen flow rate, powder feed rate and standoff distance) to achieve better erosion resistance at 90° impact angle. The results indicated that ethanol flow rate and oxygen flow rate were identified as the highly contributing parameters on the erosion wear loss. The important sequence of the spray parameter is ethanol flow rate > oxygen flow rate > standoff distance > powder feed rate. The optimal spray parameter (OSP) for minimum erosion wear loss was obtained under ethanol flow rate of 28slph, oxygen flow rate of 420slpm, powder feed rate of 76.7 g/min and standoff distance of 300mm. The phase composition, microstructure, hardness, porosities, and the erosion wear behaviors of the coatings have been studied in detail. Besides, erosion wear testing of the optimized coating was conducted at 30°, 60° and 90° impact angle using air jet erosion testing machine. The SEM images of the erodent samples were taken to analyze the erosion mechanism.

This study investigates the cavitation erosion (CE) behavior and fracture morphology of tungsten carbide thermal spray coatings. WC-CoCr and WC-CrC-Ni powders of various sizes were deposited on stainless steel substrates by HVOF spraying using different combustion pressures. Coating samples and Cr steel reference specimens were subjected to vibratory cavitation erosion tests, volume loss was measured, and erosion damages were examined by SEM to assess fracture morphology. The results indicate that CE resistance can be improved by reducing porosity and increasing interparticle bonding strength.

This study assesses the erosive wear performance of hard-phase-reinforced coatings developed for use on hammer drills employed in mining operations. Several laser-clad coatings consisting of a nickel matrix with various tungsten carbides were evaluated along with two Fe-based alloys, FeCrBSi and FeCrNiBSi, and a WC-CoCr reference layer deposited by HVOF spraying. Erosion tests were conducted in 15° steps up to an angle of 90° and coating performance was determined based on volume loss obtained by 3D profilometry. At low angles, the more brittle materials lost significantly less volume, but at 90°, wear-resistant steel performs almost as well as a hard-phase loaded coating. Laser-clad layers with spherical fused tungsten carbides (FTC) performed better overall than coatings with regular (angular) FTC.

This paper summarizes the results of high-temperature corrosion and erosion tests conducted on a wide range of coating materials, including Cr 3 C 2 -NiCr, Cr 3 C 2 -CoNiCrAlY, TiMoCN-Ni, Stellite 6, NiCrBSi, and Hastelloy C-276. All coatings were deposited on stainless steel substrates by HVOF spraying, and after high-temperature testing, were evaluated by means of SEM and EDX analysis. Of the coating materials evaluated, Hastelloy C-276 provided the best protection against high-temperature corrosion. It also exhibited the highest erosion resistance at a particle impact angle of 90°, but at the sharpest impact angle of 15°, Cr 3 C 2 -NiCr coatings were found to be the most erosion resistant, likely due to the strong bonding of carbide particles in matrix. NiCrBSi coatings, on the other hand, exhibited the highest values of volume loss.

One of the economical and fast solutions for failure against erosive wear in oil and gas industries is the deposition of cermets using HVOF thermal spray. Recently, especially with the new development of bimodal feedstock powders, the composition percentages of the mixed powders have played a key factor in the final coating performance. In the present study, a design of experiment (DOE) software was implemented to study the influence of different powder percentages on the coating performance. The coating mechanical properties and its performance were investigated via dry solid particle erosion tests, hardness measurement and SEM respectively. The results showed that both the hardness and erosion resistance of the coating increases as the composition percentage of the nanostructured WC-12Co increased due to the strong adhesion of WC nano size grains at the substrate/coating interface as a result of improved mechanical interlocking.

HVOF and HVAF deposited coatings of three commercial Fe-based powder alloys have been ranked according to ASTM G76 solid particle erosion testing. The reference was electrolytic hard chrome (EHC) plating. The test results at 30 m/s abrasive particle velocity showed that 6AB powder alloy, when HVAF sprayed, Fe SP586 when both HVOF and HVAF sprayed meet the EHC plating reference erosion rate. 6AB HVOF sprayed and Fe SP529 both HVOF and HVAF sprayed powder alloys achieved two to three times higher erosion rate but were still at the same level of magnitude as the EHC plating reference.

High quality coatings of titanium can be obtained by cold spraying using high process gas temperatures and pressures. However, the performance of cold sprayed coatings is determined not only by the respective material properties and the impact conditions, but also by the temperature and properties of the substrate—including the already deposited— material. In the present study, cold spray of spherical titanium grade II powders was performed on titanium grade II, copper, and stainless steel substrates, using two sets of parameters and three different substrate temperatures. Single impacts and respective particle adhesion were investigated using wipe tests followed by a modified cavitation test. Higher bond strengths were achieved for substrates that were held at higher temperatures during spraying. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of coating, taken as a measure of particle-particle bonding quality within the coating, improved and the porosity decreased for increased substrate temperatures. The findings are discussed in view of the thermal conditions, as well as the mechanical response of the uppermost layer of the substrate/deposit set.

In the present study, spherical Ti-6Al-4V powders were cold sprayed on titanium, aluminum, and magnesium alloy substrates to investigate influences over a wide range of damping conditions and respective deceleration of impacting particles. Single impacts were produced via wipe tests and bonding was evaluated by cavitation testing followed by SEM examination of impact and fracture morphologies. The results show that better bonding is achieved for material combinations with similar properties due to high adiabatic shear instabilities that result in microfusion at the particle-substrate interface. In the case of dissimilar materials, the conditions for bonding can be reached in an intermediate stage, but bonded areas may later separate due to particle movement around the interface.

This study investigates the impact behavior and consequences for coating formation in cold spraying of FeAl intermetallic compound powder. A range of spraying conditions was used to process single impacts in so-called wipe tests and for processing spray layers. In order to avoid brittle failure, high process gas temperatures and varied traverse speeds were used to account for thermal softening of spray particles and already adhering layers. Morphologies of as-impacted particles and partially removed single splats were subsequently investigated by SEM. The study of spray lines indicates that secondary impacts are only successful within an extremely narrow range of impact conditions. Within this narrow parameter regime, thicker and dense coatings are obtained. Hardness testing shows that the properties of the powders were retained.

This study investigates the effect of plasma spray parameters on the erosion rate of abradable seals used for clearance control in gas turbine engines. Coating samples were sprayed using YSZ powder containing polyester that was entrapped in the deposit then subsequently removed by heating. Test results show that erosion behavior is influenced by gun voltage and spray distance. A higher voltage results in a denser coating with a lower erosion rate. Increasing spray distance, on the other hand, increases porosity, which results in a higher erosion rate. Further analysis shows that the erosion rate is proportional to the inverse square of the spray distance and the square of the gun voltage.

Cavitation erosion is a common phenomenon that occurs in hydraulic turbine blades and result in mass loss. Welding is the most common technique used to recover the geometrical profile of these cavitation eroded turbine blades, however it is known that tensile residual stress can develop. The development of manufacture process that could reduce or eliminate the residual stress level will contribute for a longer service life of this component. It is aimed in this study evaluate cavitation erosion mechanism of Fe- Mn-Cr-Si-Ni arc thermally sprayed coating. Coatings were analyzed by optical and scanning electronic microscopy, microhardness, cavitation tests (ASTMG32-92) and the analysis of eroded surface areas after ultrasonic cavitation tests with DRX and SEM. The results showed that lamellae morphology, oxide volume fraction and porosity modified by changings in parameters deposition, modified cavitation mass loss mechanisms. After ultrasonic cavitation tests, it was verified that mass loss occurred by interlamellae oxide removal and splats surface deformation in initial stages, followed by rupture and finally detachment of the lamellae. Splashing droplets promote greater mass loss in some localized areas because they lower intersplat cohesion.

WC-Co thermal sprayed coatings are mainly used for wear protecting functions in various industries, for which high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) spray is considered to be the best suited process. However, WC-Co HVOF coatings still have some defects as compared with sintered bulk, such as decarburization of WC and porous structure. Recently, experiments of WC-Co coatings using warm spray (WS) and cold spray processes have demonstrated some improvements in reduction of these defects. In particular, WS process seems to be a more promising process for WC-Co coatings from the previous work. In this study, wear resistant functions of WC-12%Co coatings prepared by HVOF and WS were investigated by abrasion and erosion tests. In addition, in-flight particles were captured and their characteristics such as the amount of decarburization, crystal phase, particle strength and particle size distribution were investigated to clarify the difference between HVOF and WS processes. The result shows that the wear resistances of the WC-Co WS coatings are comparable or superior to those of the HVOF coatings, which can be attributed to the difference in the amount of W 2 C and coatings porosity revealed by the in-flight particles and the coating microstructure. The result of the in-flight particle analysis also indicates that wear resistance of WS coatings can be further improved by optimizing the powder shape and chemical composition.

Damage of marine screw propeller parts made of aluminum bronze cast material caused by cavitation erosion is one of the serious problems. Erosion resistant thermal spray coating on aluminum-bronze material is expected to extend lifetime of such propellers. In this study, Cobalt-based alloy coatings sprayed by; (a) atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), (b) low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) and (c) high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying and aluminum bronze cast material were evaluated by cavitation erosion test using magnetostrictive cavitation test equipment. Fracture morphology of cavitation eroded coating surfaces were analyzed by surface observations with SEM and also the amount of volume loss was measured. Cobalt-based alloy coatings sprayed by LPPS exhibited superior cavitation erosion resistance compared to aluminum bronze cast material and coatings by APS and HVOF. Moreover, mechanical properties of Cobalt-based alloy coatings were investigated in detail by nanoindentation technique. It is found that cavitation erosion resistance of coatings is subjected to interparticle cohesive strength.

WC-Co cermet coatings were fabricated by using Warm Spraying, which is a modification of HVOF spraying to lower the temperature of the propellant gas below the melting point of Co. By changing the processing parameters, specimens were prepared for hardness, abrasion wear and particle erosion tests. Their microstructures were examined by SEM and XRD. The microstructure clearly showed the effects of suppression of the dissolution of WC into the Co phase, which is the major cause of embrittlement of the conventional HVOF sprayed WC-Co coatings. By combinations of adequate feedstock powder and processing parameters, it was possible to take advantage of fine WC grain size to prepare coatings with higher hardness (HV > 1400), smoother surface (Ra < 2 μm), and moderately improved wear performances compared with conventional HVOF coatings.

In this present work, WC-Co coatings with different Co contents were deposited by warm spraying using two different powder sizes and their microstructure, hardness, fracture resistance, and wear properties were investigated. The coatings produced from fine powders showed higher hardness and better wear behavior for all Co contents than those deposited from coarse powders, which is attributed to improved splat-splat bonding and a reduction in porosity that comes with using fine powder.

The cavitation erosion result mass loss. Welding is the most common technique used to recover the geometrical profile of the blades. However it is known that tensile residual stress can develop. The search for manufacture process that could reduce or eliminate the residual stress level will contribute for a longer life service. The target in this study to evaluate the potential of ASP thermal spray to recover surfaces. The influence of processing parameters on the cavitation resistance and mechanisms was evaluated for three alloys, AWS309LT1, AWS410NiMo and a Co stainless steel known as Cavitec. Coatings were analyzed by optical and electronic microscopy, microhardness and cavitation tests regarding the effect of air pressure. The results showed that lamellae morphology, oxide volume fraction and cavitation resistance were modified by the ASP parameters. The increase in the pressure modified the oxide fraction from 26 to 37% in AWSI309LT1, 23 to 31% for AWS410NiMo and 16 to 23% for Cavitec. Mass loss varied from 3.5 to 4.8 mg/h for AWSI309LT1, 6.65 to 18.19 mg/h for AWS410NiMo, and 3.4 to 4.0 mg/h for Cavitec; the best performance occurred with Cavitec and was associated with higher pressure of deposition and minor oxide volume fraction.
