Abstract
This technical report summarizes the research work performed and progress achieved during the period of April 1, 1995 to June 30, 1995. In this study, the preliminary analysis of test data and understanding of the erosion behavior of resistant coatings for the in-bed tube materials were discussed for one the remedies of preventing in-bed tube erosion. The material wastage of the specimen was determined by weight and thickness loss measurements. The morphologies of the specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For the material wastage. of the coating specimens, High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coatings (DS200) and the arc-sprayed coating at elevated temperature condition exhibited 2 to 3 times lower erosion wastage than that of AISI 1018 steel. For the angular dependence of erosion rate, two coatings exhibited the ductile behavior as demonstrated by higher wastage rates at shallow impact angle than that at steep impact angle. Tests will be continued and compared with erosion test results from higher velocity test conditions.
