Abstract

This study presents the results of light optical and scanning electron microscopy as well as energy dispersive spectroscopy investigation of the Ni-based self-fluxing alloys (NiCrBSi, NiCrWBSi and NiCrBSi + WC) deposited on steel substrates (heat treated carbon steel C45, heat treated low-alloyed steel 42CrMo4 and austenitic stainless steel X6CrNiMo18-10-2) by one-step flame spraying and fusing process. The microstructure of coatings and coating/substrate interface but also the effects of deposition technology on the heat-treated steel substrates which have frequently been used in practice were investigated. The influence of the sample size on the microstructure was also discussed. A proof is given of the change in the structure of coating, coating/substrate interface and substrate due to high fusing temperature, depending on type of steel substrate (and relating thermal properties), coating thickness but also on dimensions of the sample.
