Abstract
The present research work explores the possibility of use of HVOF sprayed cermet coating Stellite-6 on gas turbine material Titanium Alloy (Ti-31). The coating is investigated for their resistance to erosion under laboratory conditions. Solid particle erosion studies were conducted using silica sand as the erodent. Erosion studies were done with impact angles of 30º, 60º and 90º. Stellite-6 coating performs better under sand erosion conditions. Stellite-6 coatings undergo damage by brittle mode. Erosion behavior of the substrate materials is ductile and resistance is better than the coating material. SEM microstructures were used for scar produced by the erodent, at 30º, 60º and 90º. impact angles, also indicates that the material damage is due to ploughing and entrapment of silica particles.
