Abstract

Cr3C2-25(NiCr) coating is widely used in wear, erosion and corrosion applications. In the present study, D-gun-sprayed Cr3C2-25(NiCr) coatings with and without 0.4 wt.% ceria incorporated were deposited on Superni 718, Superni 600 and Superco 605 substrates. Hot-corrosion runs were conducted in 40 %Na2SO4-40 %K2SO4-10 %NaCl-10 %KCl environment at 900 °C for 100 cycles. Corrosion kinetics was monitored using weight gain measurements. Characterization of corrosion products was carried out by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM)/energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. It was observed that Cr3C2-25(NiCr) coating with and without added ceria deposited on both of the Ni-based alloys showed resistance to corrosion under the given environment. Addition of ceria enhanced the adherence of the oxide to the coating during the corrosion run and reduced the overall weight gain. However, Cr3C2-25(NiCr)-coated Superco 605 did not perform satisfactorily under this environment.
