Abstract

The low nickel austenitic stainless steel (LNiASS) is more economical than the conventional 300-series austenitic stainless steels as 60% (approx.) of the Ni is replaced by manganese; it exhibits similar mechanical properties but inferior corrosion resistance. In this work, low nickel austenitic stainless steel samples were coated with Ni-based metallic powders using a thermal spray coating technique. The microstructures, phase composition and properties of coatings were examined using SEM, EDS, XRD and Vickers’s microhardness. The corrosion behavior was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization test in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution both for the uncoated and coated specimen. In both test solutions, the coatings that contained molybdenum and more chromium showed better corrosion resistance. The coated low nickel austenitic stainless steel can, therefore, be a cost-effective alternative to replace the widely used austenitic stainless steel in commercial as well as industrial applications.
