Abstract The water-droplet erosion of low-pressure steam turbine blades under wet steam environments can alter the vibration characteristics of the blade, and lead to its premature failure. Using high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) sprayed water-droplet erosion resistant coating is beneficial in preventing the erosion failure, while the erosion behavior of such coatings is still not revealed so far. Here, we examined the water-droplet erosion resistance of Cr3C2–25NiCr and WC–10Co–4Cr HVOF sprayed coatings using a pulsed water jet device with different impingement angles. Combined with microscopic characterization, indentation, and adhesion tests, we found that: (1) both of the coatings exhibited a similar three-stage erosion behavior, from the formation of discrete erosion surface cavities and continuous grooves to the broadening and deepening of the groove, (2) the erosion rate accelerates with the increasing impingement angle of the water jet; besides, the impingement angle had a nonlinear effect on the cumulative mass loss, and 30° sample exhibited the smallest mass loss per unit area (3) an improvement in the interfacial adhesion strength, fracture toughness, and hardness of the coating enhanced the water-droplet erosion resistance. These results provide guidance pertaining to the engineering application of water erosion protective coatings on steam turbine blades.

Abstract Ni-based brazing coatings with tungsten or chromium carbides are used for wear and corrosion protection in various applications. Steam turbine blades especially present a highly stressed application in which in particular the resistance to erosion and corrosion is essential. Therefore, novel tape architectures of brazed coatings have been developed and investigated within this study. In contrast to the use of powders, the application by means of tapes offers a high potential with regard to later use in industry due to the reproducible handling and automation. In this work, different coating systems were successfully deposited by means of vacuum brazing on X12CrNiMo-12 steel substrate. In order to achieve a sufficient fracture toughness of the coatings, pure nickel powder was added to the tapes. The influence of this additive on the mechanical properties was analyzed by means of three-point bending tests. A positive effect has been observed when adding a volume fraction of φ(Ni) = 25% of nickel, increasing the flexural strength up to σf = 580 MPa. Furthermore, the surface hardness of the coating has been analyzed depending on coating architecture and post-deposition treatment by grinding.
