Abstract
To avoid the corrosion damage caused by cavitation and sediment erosion on the turbine blades, Fe-based amorphous coatings were deposited on steel of hydraulic turbine blades using plasma spraying with various spraying power. The effects of spraying power on the microstructure, electrochemical corrosion and wear resistance were systematically studied. Results show that the coatings have remarkable corrosion resistance and wear resistance compared with the substrate. Porosity is the most critical factor influencing the corrosion resistance of coatings. The anti-corrosion performance increases and the wear rate decreases as the spraying power increases. The coatings prepared at 25 kW has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, with a corrosion rate of 0.011 mm·a−1, and a wear rate of only 5.91 mm3·N−1·m−1.
