“…The heat treatment of amorphous coatings leads to the precipitation of sub-micrometric crystals [18], which definitely enhances the mechanical properties of coatings, such as the microhardness, fracture toughness and wear resistance [19][20][21][22]. Yoo et al [23] have found that the amorphous structured coatings exhibit a superior corrosion resistance to the crystallized coatings with high polarization resistance, and the The present study aimed at investigating the effect of post heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of arc sprayed Fe-based amorphous coatings.…”
