Abstract

Austenitic Stainless Steel Grade 304 which is used for power plants boiler pipes often occurs creep phenomenon that caused a decrease in performance due to work at elevated temperatures. Surface coating of SUS 304 with Metal Matrix Composites Coating feedstock material 60%NiCr + 40%Cr3C2 is deposited using high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) technique. The post-annealing process at 600°C at an argon atmosphere, holding time for 3 hours, and cooling in the furnace. Creep resistance test was carried out at a temperature of 550°C with a load of 54 kg for 10080 hours on three specimens, i.e non-spray, as-spray, as-annealed, then followed by microstructure hardness testing and porosity observation. As-annealed specimens were assessed that the lowest creep resistance value, increased hardness in the coating and substrate and decreased the percentage of porosity in the coating.
