Abstract

The article presents the main problems of wear and service life of slide gate valves for trunk pipeline transport of oil and gas industry. One of the possible ways to solve these problems is the application of a thin layer of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings. Due to the ever-increasing cost of materials, as well as the increased requirements for materials, coating methods have recently become increasingly important. Among the gas-thermal coating methods, the High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel Spray (HVOF) technology is a new and rapidly developing technology that produces high density coatings with porosity less than 1%, with improved hardness and adhesion as well as improved erosion, corrosion and wear resistance properties. This overview article provides a comparative review of the characteristics of carbide coatings produced using different spraying technologies.
