Quality Evaluation of HVOF Coatings on the Basis of WC-Co in Tribocorrosive Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Article deals with analysis of production and characteristics of ceramic coatings applied using HVOF technology. It presents the results of research focused on quality evaluation of HVOF coatings on the basis of WC-Co and impact of Boron Nitride protective layer. HVOF coatings were exposed to hard tribocorrosive conditions. For determining of corrosive resistance of coatings 1M solution of NaCl, potentiodynamic tests and accelerated salt spray test were used. Experiment confirmed that using of Boron Nitride protective coating clearly improves corrosive resistance of the coating on the basis of WC-Co even in hard combined tribocorrosive conditions. Protective layer seals the pores in the structure of coating and thus prevents the formation of corrosion and subsequent depreciation of coating in various corrosive environments. Using of protective layer thus improves lifetime and reliability of spraying and the part itself. Improved lifetime positively influences also the economics of the operation of energetic equipment in which these coating are used.
