The paper presents the results of research on the production by means of arc spraying of composite coatings from the Fe-Al system with participation of in-situ intermetallic phases. The arc spraying process was carried out by simultaneously melting two different electrode wires, aluminum and steel. The aim of the research is to create protective coatings with a composite structure with a significant participation of FexAly as an intermetallic phases reinforcement. The synthesis of intermetallic phases takes place during the (in-situ) spraying process. Currently most coatings involving intermetallic phases are manufactured by different thermal spraying methods using coating materials in the form of prefabricated powders containing intermetallic phases. The obtained results showed the local occurrence of intermetallic phases from the Fe-Al system, and the dominant components of the structure have two phases, aluminum solid solutions in iron and iron in aluminum. The participation of intermetallic phases in the coating is relatively low, but its effect on the properties of the coating material is significant.

The article presents the results of research on the structural evolution of the composite Fe-Al-based coating deposited by arc spray with initial low participation of in situ intermetallic phases. The arc spraying process was carried out by simultaneously melting two different electrode wires, aluminum and low alloy steel (98.6 wt.% of Fe). The aim of the research was to reach protective coatings with a composite structure consisting of a significant participation of FexAly as intermetallic phases reinforcement. Initially, synthesis of intermetallic phases took place in situ during the spraying process. In the next step, participation of FexAly fraction was increased through the annealing process, with three temperature values, 700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C. Phase structure evolution of the Fe-Al arc-sprayed coating, stimulated by annealing, has been described by means of SEM images taken with a QBSD backscattered electron detector and by XRD and conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) investigations. Microhardness distribution of the investigated annealed coatings has been presented.

Surface engineering promotes possibilities to develop sustainable solutions to icing challenges. Durable icephobic solutions are under high interest because the functionality of many surfaces can be limited both over time and in icing conditions. To solve this, one potential approach is to use thermally sprayed polymer or composite coatings with multifunctional properties as a novel surface design method. In thermal spraying, coating materials and structures can be tailored in order to achieve different surface properties, e.g., wetting performance, roughness and protection against several weathering and wearing conditions. These, in turn, are beneficial for excellent icephobic performance and surface durability. The icephobicity of several different surfaces are tested in our icing wind tunnel (IWiT). Here, mixed-glaze ice is accreted from supercooled water droplets and the ice adhesion is measured using a centrifugal adhesion tester (CAT). The present study focuses on the icephobicity of thermally sprayed coatings. In addition, surface-related properties are evaluated in order to illustrate the correlation between the icephobic performance and the surface properties of differently tailored thermally sprayed coatings as well as compared those to other coatings and surfaces.

The aims of this study were: (1) to produce composite coatings by high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) spraying with steel matrix reinforced by cermets (a) Cr3C2–20%Ni and (b) TiC–20%NiMo, manufactured by mechanically activated synthesis (MAS); (2) to synthesize in situ a carbide reinforcement for iron matrix from a mixture of titanium and carbon during HVOF reactive thermal spraying (RTS); (3) to compare the wear resistance of produced coatings. As a reference, HVOF sprayed coatings from commercial Cr3C2–25%NiCr (Amperit 588.074) and AISI 316L were utilized. Study of microstructure revealed the inhomogeneity of the Cr-based MAS coating; the Ti-based MAS coating had typical carbide granular structure, and the Ti-based RTS coating possessed elongated structures of TiC. The X-ray diffraction revealed two main phases in the Cr-based MAS coating: Cr3C2 and austenite, and two phases in the Ti-based coatings: TiC and austenite. Among the studied coatings, the Cr-based MAS coating demonstrated the highest low-force hardness (490 HV0.3). During the abrasive rubber wheel test (ASTM G65), the Ti-based MAS coating showed the best wear resistance, followed by Cr3C2–25%NiCr and Ti-based RTS coating. In the abrasive–erosive test (GOST 23.201-78), the Ti-based MAS coating was 44% better than Cr3C2–25%NiCr coating. The Ti-based RTS coating was 11% more wear resistant than the reference Cr3C2–25%NiCr coating.

Nanostructured FeAl/WC intermetallic composite coatings were prepared by cold spaying of the ball-milled powders. The effect of annealing on the coating structure and microhardness was examined. It was found that the nanocrystalline structure of the milled feedstock was retained in the cold sprayed coatings. The FeAl intermetallic phases were formed from the milled Fe(Al) solid solution during the post-spraying annealing at 550oC. The microhardness of the as-sprayed coating was about 680HV0.1 and it decreased a little with increasing the annealing time at 550oC.

Ti/bioglass composite coatings on titanium alloy were prepared by a subsonic thermal spraying technology. Mixtures of titanium and bioglass powders with different proportions were used as feedstock. The effect of soaking of bioglass on the bond strength of between coatings and substrate was discussed. The bond strength and residual stress were investigated. The morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that TiO2, CaTi4(PO4)6, CaTiO3, NaTi2(PO4)3 formed during thermal spraying process and the residual stress in the coatings was in compressive state. After the coatings were heat-treated, soaking of bioglass made some particles achieve metallurgical bond. Furthermore, new bioglass was formed and the compressive stress was increased. The phenomenon of bioglass healing up the cracks in the heat-treated coatings was observed through SEM, which reduced the porosity of the interface layer resulting in the significant increase of the bond strength.

Thermal spraying coating techniques have emerged as very effective surface protection technology to apply protective coatings for corrosion and wear resistance applications. These coatings have gained more importance in recent past. Advances in powder and wire production have resulted in development of various types of surface coatings with excellent wear and corrosion resistance properties. Because of excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of Carbon Nanotubes, CNTs reinforced composite coatings are being developed for various applications, e.g. automotive, aerospace and sports equipment industry. It is observed that if properly deposited, these CNTs ceramic composite coatings can provide improved properties like wear and corrosion resistance. It has been found that CNTs composite coatings can be successfully deposited by thermal spraying techniques, and these coatings provide better performance than conventional coatings. This paper reviews the performance of such coatings developed by various researchers.

In the thermal spraying process, the process for the molten metal particles to hit against matrix to form coating experiences great change temperature. Since the coating materials has different thermal physical properties with the matrix materials, the residual stress is surely left in the coating. Much bigger residual stress not only restricts coating thickness but also primarily affects coating binding strength. Having analyzed reason for residual stress in the thermal spraying coating and matrix, the theoretical model of arc spraying 3Cr13 molten drop impact stress is built and numerical simulation is done for this theoretical model. The result indicates that: the faster the molten drop speed is, the greater the pressure that matrix produces. When the molten drop's collision speed is 100m/s, it is not obvious for the matrix's pressure stress and when the collision speed is increased to 200m/s, the pressure stress produced in the matrix can maximize 5500Mpa; the faster the molten drop's collision speed is, the higher extent the molten drop's flattening is, which is more beneficial to increase coating’s bonding strength. The radius for the molten drop in the radius of 35μm becomes 80~110μm after collision and the flat ratio of the molten drop particle is about 3. The theoretical analysis is consistent with the experiment result.

Abstract The given article presents some results of the scientific research devoted to the development of a new class of scale-resistant powder materials of the Si-Ti-Mo-B system for thermal spraying and using these materials for the creation of heat-resistant coatings on the niobium base alloys by means of various methods of thermal spraying. Also under consideration are problems relating to the theory and practice of obtaining reliable protective coatings on high-melting metals and their alloys, niobium ones included, intended for operation in high-enthalpy oxygen-containing gas flows. Hazard in commencing an oxidation reaction of the base material under coating is connected with density of open pores and cracks, and partial pressure of the oxidizer. Powdered multicomponent heterophase materials for gas-thermal spraying of protective coating with a self-healing ability and controlled properties are proposed. Finally the results of some properties of new silicide-type heterophase powders containing silicide and boride phases for a thermal spraying process and some properties of protective coating deposited on the niobium base alloys by means of a thermal spraying technique are presented.

An arc-spraying composite coating system for high-temperature oxidation protection is composed of an inner Fe-Cr-Al alloy layer and an Al-Si alloy outer layer. The high-temperature oxidation behavior of the composite coatings on steel substrate was studied during isothermal exposures in air at 900°C. Experiments show that the coatings on steel substrate are not deteriorated and the substrate is protected well, being exposed to high temperatures up to 900°C. Inter diffusion of alloying elements within the protective coatings occur, while the elements, Cr and Al, are also diffusing to the core of the base metal. As test time proceeds, a large number of chromium oxides are generated in situ within the protective coatings, especially close to the coating/substrate interface. The oxides generated increase the bond strength of the coating to the steel substrate, and together with the surface alumina they provide a long-term effective anti-oxidant protection to steel substrate. The results on titanium sponge production site show that the protective coatings on the reactor have provided an effective protection and prolong the lifetime at least forty percent for the reactors.
