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 present study investigates the hot corrosion behaviour of high-velocity oxy-fuel sprayed alloy X22CrMoV12-1 with Cr3C2-25NiCr coating at 600oC. The study was carried out by air and molten salt environment for both coated and uncoated substrates for 50 cycles. Thermogravimetry analysis was carried out to evaluate the hot corrosion by calculating the mass changes in each cycle. The results show that coating provides the marginally good corrosion resistance than the uncoated alloy. The formation of Fe2O3 and MoO3 phases in the uncoated substrates in both air and molten salt environments reduces the corrosion resistance at the high-temperature environment. The formation of Ni2Oand spinel oxide NiCr2O4 provided good resistance to corrosion in the coated substrates in the air and molten salt environment.
