Abstract

ABSTRACT This research explores the enhanced slurry erosion behaviour of a composite coating comprising Titanium Carbide (TiC) deposited via High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) spraying process. The study integrates laser texturing and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) spraying techniques to improve the coating's performance. TiC coating is applied to SS316 substrates using HVOF, followed by laser surface texturing to create micro-scale circular patterns. A thin layer of PTFE is then sprayed onto the textured surface, enhancing static contact angle and anti-adhesive properties. Slurry erosion tests reveal significant improvements in the coating's resistance. The findings offer promising applications in slurry erosion-prone industries. Further investigations aim to study the erosive mechanism of the different samples and evaluate their long-term performance.
