Abstract
Hot corrosion is the main reason of failure of boiler tubes used at high temperature in thermal power plants. This paper is an attempt to investigate the effect of different composite coatings on boiler tube steel in corrosive environment of Na2SO4 – 60%V2O5 at 900°C for 50 cycles. The coatings have been deposited with high velocity oxy fuel process. The samples were exposed to hot corrosion in a Silicon tube furnace at 900°C for 50 cycles. The kinetics of corrosion behaviour were analysed by the weight gain measurements after each cycle. Corrosion products were analysed with weight change statistics, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. It is found that 100Cr3C2 composite coatings provided the higher resistance to corrosion as compared to other types of coatings. Cr carbide layer was formed on the surface and these layers provided the protection from hot corrosion.
