Abstract

High-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) sprayed nanocomposite coatings are widely used to increase the erosion resistance of the metal components in various applications. Novel characteristics of nanostructured materials motivate a worldwide interest to synthesize nanocomposite coatings. Nanocomposite coatings have been extensively investigated because of their application in the hydro turbine industry, usually with respect to erosion resistance requirements. This investigation focuses on the erosion behavior of HVOF sprayed nanocomposite coatings. The HVOF sprayed nanocomposite coatings with reinforcement of nano powders such as Al2O3, TiO2, Y2O3, ZrO2, SiO2 and SiC results in high hardness, low porosity, improved surface properties, toughness, and higher value of erosion resistance. The major causes of erosion of the uncoated material like de-bonding, micro-cutting, spalling, micropores, cracks, craters, pullout, etc. can be reduced effectively by using HVOF sprayed nanocomposite coatings. In the present paper, extensive analysis has been done on existing research of nanocomposite coatings deposited by HVOF. The findings of the various researchers revealed that the erosion of conventional coatings can be mitigated successfully by depositing HVOF sprayed nanocomposite coatings.
