Abstract

In this research work, hot corrosion behavior of different Y2O3-reinforced Cr2O3 matrix-based composite coatings on boiler tube steel has been examined at elevated temperature. Hot corrosion tests are carried out under molten salt environment of Na2SO4 + 60% V2O5 salt mixture at 900 °C for 50 cycles. Each cycle was consisting of 1 h heating in a silicon carbide tubular furnace followed by 20 min of cooling. The coatings on samples were developed by plasma-sprayed process. The parabolic rate constants of coated steels are lower when compared to the uncoated substrate. The outcome of the experiment has indicated that highest corrosion resistance was shown by 20 wt.% Y2O3–Cr2O3, and 10 wt.% Y2O3–Cr2O3 composite coatings. The 20 wt.% Y2O3–Cr2O3, and 10 wt.% Y2O3–Cr2O3 coatings were able to reduce the corrosion rate of boiler steel by 85.58 and 83.84%, respectively, at 900 °C temperature.
