Abstract
In the present investigations, 50% Fe V + 50% (WC Ni Cr B Si) Coating is developed on SS304 Substrate with High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process. SS304 substrate is commonly used for the plant machinery process vessels which are affected by moderate corrosion and wear applications. This investigation aims to study the performance of the developed coating. The Feedstock powders are characterized by various characterization methods such as SEM, EDS, and XRD, while the as-sprayed coating is characterized by SEM and XRD. The vicker hardness testing technique is used to identify the hardness of the coating. Present research work represents that developed coating improvises average microhardness of substrate from 185 to 205 HV0.1 to 340–680 HV0.1 and thus improves the wear resistance.
