High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying was used to deposit coatings, approximately 200 mum thick, of a commercially available Ni-Cr based alloy containing boron and carbon [Ni-23.5Cr-3.8Cu-0.8Fe-5.9Mo-3.4W-2.8B-4.3C (at.%)]. Powder and coating microstructures were investigated by a combination of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy. The coatings had layered morphologies due to the deposition and solidification of successive molten or semi-molten splats. The splat microstructures consisted of a Ni-rich metallic matrix containing a small fraction of M23C3 particles similar to 50 nm in size. The Ni-rich matrix had a predominantly crystalline structure with only a small fraction of amorphous phase regions. Cr2O3, and NiCr2O4 oxide phases occurred in the form of either intersplat lamellae or globules, with Cr2O3 bring the predominant oxide. Coating microhardness values were found to be similar to 6.0 GPa which is significantly higher than that of B- and C-free nickel-based alloys similarly deposited. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
