Abstract
High temperature Coand Nibased metallic coatings were applied on samples of 310 stainless steel using plasma spray and high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) methods. The samples were sprayed with Na2 SO 4 , V2O5 and NaCl salt solutions and exposed in air at 900°C to cyclic conditions with an aim to simulate an envi� ronment typically encountered in oil refinery operation. Extent of hot corrosion damage was assessed using gravimetric measurements while microstructure of the coatings was examined using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive Xray spectroscopy. Xray diffraction was used to determine phase constitution. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performance of specific coatings in hot corrosive environments. Experimental results indicate that the presence of V2O5 and NaCl serves to enhance hot corrosion while Cobased coatings perform better than Nibased coating.
