The present study aims to evaluate the hot corrosion behaviour of the Ni-based alloy Superni- 75 in the molten salt environment of Na2SO-60%V2O5 at 900°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. Superni-75 has successfully provided the hot corrosion resistance to the given molten salt environment. The hot corrosion resistance of the Superni-75 has been attributed to the formation of uniform, homogeneous and adherent thick layer of the scale consisting mainly of oxides of nickel and chromium, and refractory Ni(VO3)2. These oxides and refractory nickel vanadates have blocked the penetration of oxygen and other corrosive species to the substrate.

Purpose Hot corrosion is the major degradation mechanism of failure of boiler and gas turbine components. The present work aims to investigate the hot corrosion resistance of detonation gun sprayed (D-gun) Cr2O3-75 per cent Al2O3 ceramic coating on ASTM-SA210-A1 boiler steel. Design/methodology/approach The coating exhibits nearly uniform, adherent and dense microstructure with porosity less than 0.8 per cent. Thermogravimetry technique is used to study the high temperature hot corrosion behavior of bare and coated boiler steel in molten salt environment (Na2SO4-60 per cent V2O5) at high temperature 900°C for 50 cycles. The corrosion products are analyzed by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission scanning electron microscope/energy-dispersive analysis (EDAX) to reveal their microstructural and compositional features for elucidating the corrosion mechanisms. Findings During investigations, it was found that the Cr2O3-75 per cent Al2O3 coating on Grade A-1 boiler steel is found to be very effective in decreasing the corrosion rate in the molten salt environment at 900°C. The coating has shown lesser weight gains along with better adhesiveness of the oxide scales with the substrate till the end of the experiment. Thus, coatings serve as an effective diffusion barrier to preclude the diffusion of oxygen from the environment into the substrate boiler steel. Research limitations/implications Therefore, it is concluded that the better hot corrosion resistance of the coating is due to the formation of desirable microstructural features such as very low porosity, uniform fine grains and the flat splat structures in the coating; as compared to the bare substrate under cyclic conditions. Practical implications This research is useful for coal-fired boilers and other power plant boilers. Social implications This research is useful for power generation plants. Originality/value There is no reported literature on hot corrosion behavior of Cr2O3-75 per cent Al2O3 coating deposited on the selected substrates by D-gun spray technique. The present work has been focused to study the influence of the Cr2O3-75 per cent Al2O3 coating developed with D-gun spraying technique on high temperature corrosion behavior of ASTM-SA210-A-1 boiler steel in an aggressive environment of Na2SO4-60 per cent V2O5 molten salt at 900°C under cyclic conditions.

The metal/ceramic composite coatings that consisted of (Ni-22Cr-10Al-1Y) and (ZrO2-25CeO2-2.5Y2O3) were prepared by the air plasma spray (APS) method. The as-sprayed coatings consisted of metal-rich and ceramic-rich regions, between which the -Al2O3 oxide stringers existed owing to the oxidation of Al in (Ni-22Cr-10Al-1Y) during APS. The composite coatings were hot corroded at 800 and 900 oC for up to 50 h in 75%NaCl-25%Na2SO4 molten salt. The corrosion products that formed on the coating surface during hot corrosion were mostly dissolved off into the molten salt. The scales that remained on the coating surface consisted primarily of Cr2O3, and a lesser amount of NiO and Al2O3. The corrosion resistance decreased, as not only the test temperature and time but also the amount of metal in the coating increased.

The effects of aluminising on the hot corrosion resistance of two nickel-chromium alloys containing 10 and 30 weight percent chromium, respectively, were examined. The Ni/Cr specimens were aluminised by pack cementation in Ar and underwent cyclic hot corrosion testing in Na2SO4- NaCl molten salt. XRD analysis indicated that a NiAl phase formed between the coating layer and substrate. Cyclic hot corrosion test results indicated that the effects of aluminising are more pronounced in the case of the 10 % Cr than in the case of 30 % Cr. The ductile NiAl phase suppressed the potential for crack initiation during thermal cycling of the 10 % Cr specimens, and reinforced the hot cyclic corrosion resistance in molten salt for the 30 % Cr specimens.
