Abstract

Corrosion is the major problem faced by Navy, especially when pumps, ship impellers and other components have to work in harsh environments like sea water. Therefore, high corrosion resistant metal ceramic matrix 75Cr3C2- 25 (NiCr) cermet has been one of the good choices for coating. In this study, we are discussing the HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) coating of 75Cr3C2-25(NiCr) on the low carbon steel substrate, IS 2062 grade B. The as coated samples were annealed at 600°C for 1 hour, 2hour and 3hours. The electrochemical tests were conducted for corrosion evaluation. Structural analysis was done by using X-Ray diffraction technique. Microstructure and thickness of the coating was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Density measurement studies were done on as-coated and annealed coupons.
