“…Levy et al (1983) apud Levy and Wang (1988) observed that this uniform pore distribution, which is almost equiaxial, lead to deterioration of the erosion strength more than flat pores between lamellas, typical of a coating deposited by flame.

“…According to Raak (1988) apud Levy and Wang (1988), coating microstructures that have high-temperature erosion strength are composed of lamellas and small-sized grains, and have low porosity, less oxide content, good adherence, and no cracks. Hardness, chemical composition, and second phase distribution (carbide particles) have less effect on the wear strength.…”

“…Levy et al (1983) apud Levy and Wang (1988) had already concluded that in brittle materials the finest grain size and the less porosity lowers the erosion rate because the decrusting occurs for each grain. Analyzing the coating microstructure, after the aspersion and after erosion at both studied angles, the authors drew some conclusions.…”

“…Erosion rate (cm 3 /g x 10 -4 ) 30º 90º The NiCrBC sprayed by plasma spray has pores with several sizes, besides disseminated cracks, which makes easier the loss of material and degrades the erosion strength of the coating (LEVY and WANG, 1988). The difference in pore size between two coatings applied by plasma spray (WC-Co and NiCrBC) has a considerable effect on the erosion rate, according to Table 5.…”

“…In this case, they can extend the useful life of a component or even allow its operation under more severe condition, protecting the surface against corrosion (LEVY and WANG, 1988). The cermets (ceramic carbides in metal matrices) are widely used and are designated: WC-Co, Cr 3 C 2 /TiC-Ni, CrMo, WC-Ni, and Cr 3 C 2 -NiCr.…”

PrefaceThe erosion caused by solid particles under extreme conditions (high hardness and velocity of the erodent, cyclic load, and high temperatures) is problematic for industrial equipments. As function of requests, the tension generated in the particles and/or in the target material is, approximately, one order of magnitude greater than its mechanical strength, and as a result, the material can be damaged.Many industries have invested in technology to minimize damage caused by degradation of the materials under erosive wear. In industrial environment, this type of wear occurs when abrasive particles are mixture or carried through pipelines, fans and cyclones, or, in equipments such as mills and mixers, by the inherent displacement of the load. This type of wear was found in mineral processing and separation industries. At high temperatures, for example, these processes take place in the energy-generation industry (thermal plants), in steel and cement production, paper production, and in the petrochemical industry.The erosion at high temperatures leads to the deterioration of parts or components of machines, turbines, engines, and boilers that operate with particulate flows and, as a consequence, shortens their useful lifespan. In the petrol industry, for example, the erosion in boilers powered by powder fuel contributes to approximately 25% of the failures of these equipments, attributed to erosive wear caused by fly ashes.Regarding erosion at high temperatures, several authors mentioned earlier suggest different regimens that contribute to damage of the material under erosion-oxidation, but there is no accordance among the findings by these authors. It is known that different variables in the process of erosive wear can lead to damage of the material by different mechanisms. However, due to the effect of temperature on the material, an oxide is formed, establishing the wear mechanisms. This mechanism result from erosion of the oxide and/or erosion of the composite (formed by oxide and substrate), making the approach for determining the wear phenomenon more complex.The erosion of cermets (bulk and coating), more specifically at high temperatures, has been the subject of many researchers, although few of these studies are conclusive, and even fewer, agree with each other. In the case of cermet coatings, the complex microstructure, due to the lamellar formation can make even more difficult the understanding of the phenomenon responsible for erosion. Besides, as Stack and Pena (1997) noticed, in their studies of an alloy Ni13%Cr with WC particles at temperatures as high as 650 o C, the change in the mechanical properties of the material due to temperature can contribute to increase in the complexity of the behavior of the wear of this kind of material. VI PrefaceThe use of coatings such as cermets have shown excellent results with respect to the high strength against the erosive wear; however, very little is known about the mechanisms that lead to the degradation of this kind of material, at different work tempera...
