A resistance of cavitation erosion-corrosion of the AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel was evaluated in this study. The cavitation resistance of this stainless steel has been examined using an ultrasonic vibratory method by applying water-voltage combination effect. The curves of cumulative material loss and erosion rate were attained and discussed. In addition, surface topography and scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs have been utilized to characterize the eroded surface after the cavitation test. The results have been compared with previously obtained results for the AISI 1040 steel. The cavitation results showed that the AISI 420 steel has exhibited the better resistance to cavitation comparing with the AISI 1040 steel under the similar test conditions. The total cumulative material loss of the AISI 420 was approximately three times less than that of the AISI 1040. Surface topography and SEM micrographs showed that the severity of damage of the AISI 1040 was found to be a higher compared to that of the AISI 420 steel.

In this study a fluid elastomer was applied by two different methods on a martensitic stainless steel substrate, in order to obtain coatings for protection against cavitation. The investigations regarding the resistance to cavitation erosion of the elastomeric coatings were carried out by the indirect vibratory method using the values of the cumulative erosion (material loss) developed during a testing period of 600 minutes with a 20 kHz ultrasonic vibrator at a peak-to-peak amplitude of 50 μm. The experimental results obtained in the laboratory have been processed statistically. They clearly pointed out that the deposition method significantly influences the cavitation resistance of the elastomer.

In this study, two Ni-based coating materials, namely NiCrMoNb and NiCrBSi, have been applied using High Velocity Air Fuel (HVAF) thermal spraying process. The performance of the coated surface in resistance to cavitation erosion-corrosion of both coating materials, has been evaluated using an ultrasonic vibratory method. The cumulative material loss and erosion rate curves of the two coatings have been discussed. Surface topography, microhardness, macroscopic images, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs were used to characterize the coatings before and after the cavitation test. The cavitation results showed that the NiCrMoNb coating surface has exhibited better performance than the NiCrBSi coating surface under the same test conditions. The total cumulative weight loss of the NiCrMoNb coating was about 1/3 that of the NiCrBSi coating. SEM micrographs of the eroded surfaces showed that the surface layer of the NiCrBSi coating was more damaged, compared to layer of the NiCrMoNb coating. Overall, the NiCrMoNb coating can be effectively used against the cavitation wear, due to its superior performance.

In this paper, a pragmatic technique has been developed to evaluate the erosion-corrosion behavior of three kinds of ZrN coatings (i.e., monolayer, multilayer, and gradient layers) which were deposited on AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel using an ion-assisted deposition technology. Among them, the monolayer coating refers to the coating with no change in composition and structure, the multilayer coating refers to the coating with alternating change of Zr/ZrN, and the gradient coating refers to the ZrN coating by increasing N2 partial pressure gradually. The morphology, composition, and microhardness of these ZrN coatings were examined by means of integrating the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Knoop hardness measurements, while anodic polarization tests and salt fog spray tests in a simulated industrial environment have been performed to evaluate and identify the corrosion mechanisms of these coatings. The surface microhardness and corrosion resistance of the AISI420 martensitic stainless steel is found to be significantly improved by depositing the ion-assisted deposition ZrN coatings. The study indicates that the erosion-corrosion behavior in the slurry is the result of the synergistic effect of small-angle erosion and acid solution corrosion. Three ZrN coatings hinder the slurry erosion-corrosion behavior from two aspects (i.e., erosion resistance of small-angle particles as well as corrosion resistance of the substrate), thereby significantly improving the erosion-corrosion resistance of AISI 420 stainless steel. In addition, the ZrN gradient coatings show a much better erosion-corrosion resistance than that of the monolayer/multilayer ZrN coating because they have excellent crack resistance, bearing capacity, and electrochemical performance.
