Abstract A reaction-formed NiAI intermetallic compound (IMC) powder has been deposited as a coating onto low carbon steel test coupons by the High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) process using both gaseous and liquid fuels. The microstructure of this coating has been examined using scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction and was found to depend on spraying conditions. Oxidation tests on the coating in air, between the temperatures of 800°C-1200°C, revealed that an a-alumina (Al2O3) scale formed on the coating's surface. At 1200°C, a nickel spinel (NiO/NiAl2O4) and haematite (Fe2O3) phases were observed. Diffusion studies were performed to calculate an activation energy for iron ion diffusion in NiAl.

4Cr13 martensitic stainless steel coatings with different amount of V/Nb were prepared on the surface of the Q235 low-carbon steel by high velocity arc spraying (HVAS). The microstructure and properties of the coatings were characterized and tested by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope, microhardness tester and wear tester. And the wear mechanisms of the coatings have been studied. The results showed that optimal percentage of V/Nb could improve performance of the coatings. The coatings had good forming properties, uniformity of microstructure and compact structure.The highest value of adhesion strength was up to about 36.80 Mpa. The hard particles could incease the hardness and wear resistanc of the coatings.The average microhardness was about 523 HV0.1, higher than that of 4Cr13 coatings, and the abrasive wear resiatance was enhanced because of the added elements V and Nb. Key words: alloying coatings; 4Cr13; V/Nb; high velocity arc spraying (HVAS); abrasive behaviour

Powder spray coating was used for many applications such as paint decoration and protection against corrosive environments. The electrostatic spray method is used to lower the manufacturing cost and the environmental effect during the production process. It is done by electrostatic device and spray gun to create a layer on the substrate to play a protective role. Different dry powders were mixed to form a composite mixture consisted of Al2O3 and SiC or ZrSiO4 with Al powder as a binder. The powders mixture was deposited by electrostatic spray technique with a high voltage of 15 kV on a low carbon steel substrate of (40 x 10 x 4) mm in dimensions. Two groups of mixtures were used to form the coating layers. Powders of Al2O3 with (20 and 40) weight percent (wt%) of SiC as the first group and (20 and 40) wt% of ZrSiO4 as the second group were used. 5 wt% of Al powder was added as a binder, and the samples were heat treated at 900 C° for 2 hours. A detailed characterization of the composite coating layers was performed using XRD, SEM, and EDX, as well as, micro-hardness measurements. The obtained surface composite layers were smooth and having good particle distribution which leads to enhance roughness values (Ra). Furthermore, the hardness increased with increasing the amount of carbide and zirconia, and the obtained layers show no presence of defects or cracks.

ABSTRACTIn the present work the kinetic growth is analyzed for a hard coating applied on a low carbon steel AISI 8620. A thermochemical treatment of bored with dehydrated paste at temperatures of 900, 950 and 1000 °C with a residence time of 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. The morphology and types of borides formed on the surface of the steel were evaluated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The layer formed has a size of 20 to 113 μm which will be dependent on the process temperature, the treatment time and the alloy elements of the substrate. Hardness of 1493-1852 HV are presented for treatment times and temperatures established in this study. The kinetics of growth were determined and analyzed using a mathematical model of diffusion, evaluating the penetration of the biphasic layer that is determined as a function of the time and temperature of the thermochemical treatment (TCT). The results show the increase in the growth constants (k) with respect to the bored temperatures. The activity energy (Q) of the material AISI 8620 was also obtained.

In this work, the iron bacteria were cultured and inoculated into the cooling water before immersion, and low carbon steel coupons were immersed for one month. Then, microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel in the presence of these bacteria was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and weight loss methods. SEM results showed that large amounts of corrosion products and heterogeneous biofilm layer were formed on the coupon surface. SEM also revealed the uniform-pitting corrosion on the steel surface due to bacteria colonization. XRD results show that the main constituents present in corrosion product are composed of iron oxides and iron hydroxides.

Enamel glaze was added with glass powders of different sizes and masses and fired into enamel coatings on the surface of low-carbon steel. Acid resistance of the enamel coatings in H2SO4 solution was analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and mass loss of acid corrosion. As was discovered in research, the acid corrosion quantity in the enamel coatings decreased with the decrease in the particle size of the glass powder when the particle size of the additive glass powder reduced from 100[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m to 1–2[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m and heated the prepared enamel coatings in the H2SO4 solution until 80[Formula: see text]C and kept for 48[Formula: see text]h. When the additive amount of the glass powder increased from 5% to 20%, the surface of the enamel coating was smooth and flat with good glossiness and without defects like obvious bubbles and cracks, and the acid corrosion quantity decreased with increase in the additive amount of glass powder, which decreased from 43.24[Formula: see text]mg/cm[Formula: see text]d to 4.28[Formula: see text]mg/cm2.d, satisfying the acid-proof performance requirements of industrial enamel coatings.

In this study, the powder-pack boriding process on low-carbon stainless steel was carried out at 1273 K for 4 h of exposure to obtain a layer around ~57 μm conformed by FeB, Fe2B, and others alloying elements. Firstly, the presence of iron borides formed on the surface of borided AISI 316L alloy was confirmed by optical microscopy combined with the X-ray diffraction analysis. After, the sensed Vickers indentation test was performed on the iron boride layer to estimate the behavior of hardness and Young’s modulus. Sliding wear tests on the borided AISI 316L alloy were performed according to the ASTM G133-05 standard procedure, with the following conditions: distances of 50 and 150 m, normal loads of 5 and 20 N, and a sliding speed of 30 mm/s. Finally, the results showed that the presence of FeB-Fe2B improves the resistance to wear around 41 times compared to the untreated material.
