Abstract

Kerosene-fueled high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray was employed to deposit commercial Ti2AlC MAX phase powders onto Inconel 600 substrates. After optimizing three process parameters including flow rates of kerosene and oxygen as well as spray distance, a dense Ti2AlC coating with a very low decomposition was obtained. Using Rietveld phase analysis of the X-ray diffraction pattern, the weight percentage of Ti2AlC in the coating was determined to be 53.0%, which is not only far better than the coating deposited by plasma spray, but also is comparable with the optimum Ti2AlC coatings sprayed by H2-fueled HVOF and cold spray. This optimized Ti2AlC coating was further analyzed by a variety of techniques to probe its surface chemistry, morphology, cross-sectional microstructure, mechanical properties and salt fog corrosion resistance.
