The high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) process is widely adopted by many industries due to its flexibility, cost effectiveness, handiness for use and the superior quality of the coatings produced. The present work is a comparative study of HVOF sprayed Cr3C2-NiCr and Ni-20Cr coatings on a Ni-based superalloy in a molten salt environment of Na2SO4-60%V2O5 at 900 degrees C under cyclic conditions. The thermogravimetric technique was used to establish the kinetics of corrosion. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive analysis and electron probe microanalysis techniques were used to analyse the corrosion products. The hot corrosion resistance of Ni-20Cr coating was better than Cr3C2-NiCr coating. The hot corrosion resistance of both coatings may be attributed to the formation of oxides and spinels of nickel and chromium. These oxides might have blocked the pores and splat boundaries, and acted as diffusion barriers to the inward diffusion of oxidizing species. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
