Hot corrosion of nanostructured Cr/Co–Al coatings

Abstract

Nanostructured Cr/Co-Al coatings on Superni-718 superalloy substrate are deposited by direct current/radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The microstructure and hot corrosion behaviour of sputtered Cr/Co-Al coatings on Superni-718 superalloy have been investigated in molten salt of 40 wt-%Na 2 SO 4 z60 wt-%V 2 O 5 at 900uC. The results showed that a dense scale formed on the coated samples during thermal cycling. The spinel phases of CoCr 2 O 4 , CoAl 2 O 4 and NaAlO 2 are present in the scale of the corroded coating, resulting in an effective inhibition of O and S diffusion. The sputtered coatings showed better performance of hot corrosion due to its possession of b-CoAl phases (as Al reservoir) in the outer layer of the coating and Cr as an intermediate layer. The relevant corrosion mechanisms are discussed.

Performance of cold spray coating in industrial medical waste incinerator

“…The nickel based superalloys cannot be prevented from hot corrosion for long time in the aggressive environment of Na, Cl and S at high temperature. Researchers [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] found that one of the economical and viable ways to overcome these problems is the use of thin high temperature, erosioncorrosion and wear resistant coatings. The base material will provide the required mechanical strength and coating will resist the erosion-corrosion.…”

Chlorine based hot corrosion study of cold sprayed NiCrAlY coating

“…1 Hence, it is required to have a composite system of a base material that would provide the requisite mechanical strength along with a surface layer to sustain in the high temperature corrosive environment. The protective coatings on the metal/alloy have been examined by researchers [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] to protect the substrate from hot corrosion. The various coatings are able to increase the life of the substrate alloys; however, the chlorine based power producing plants are running at low efficiency.…”

Study of multilayer ZnO/Al doped ZnO nanostructured thin films

“…The aim of the present research work is to developed nanostructured multilayer transparent ZnO/ZnS and Al doped ZnO thin films by electroless process on glass substrate and to study the physical and optical properties of these multilayer films. Nanostructured coatings have attracted a wide attention due to their unique mechanical, corrosion resistant [15][16][17] and immense potential applications in nanodevice fabrication. Nanostructured coating allows more than 95% of the sun energy absorption and minimises the reflection losses to less than 5% from the solar cell surface.…”
