The purpose of this study was to achieve a low-porosity HVOF (High velocity Oxygen Fuel) spray cover and to determine the effect of spray parameters on the porosity of the coating. The spray parameters studied include: Powder feed rate (A); Spray distance (B); Oxygen/Propane ratio to porosity of WC-12Co coating on 16Mn steel. Taguchi method and ANOVA (Analysis of variance) technique were used to optimize and analyze the effect of spray parameters. The results showed that the optimum spray parameters with A = 26 g/min, B = 0.2m, C = 5 for porosity smallest. Factor A has the greatest influence on porosity, followed by B and C. The experimental result is then compared to optimal results and the error is only 4.2 %. Hence, one can say that the optimal results are reliable and Taguchi method - ANOVA technique proved to be an effective solution to the optimization problem. Parameters for a WC-12Co coating with improved porosity on 16Mn steel substrate have been identified.

Abstract Mathematical modelling of the formation of the WC-Co coating structure and adhesion on copper substrate during high velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) spraying is provided. Smooth (polished) and rough (grit blasted) substrates are considered. Variations of solidification time, solidification velocity, thermal gradient, and cooling velocity in the coating and substrate interfacial region are studied. Formation of the amorphous and crystalline structures in the coating and of the crystalline structure in the substrate interfacial region is investigated. Behaviour of the crystal size and intercrystalline distance with respect to the thermal spray parameters and morphology of the substrate surface is analysed. Optimal conditions for the development of fine and dense crystalline structure are determined. Mechanical and thermal mechanisms of development of the substrate-coating adhesion are discussed. Results obtained agree well with experimental data.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a very common material used for biomedical applications. Usually, in order to improve its poor mechanical properties is combined or coated with other high-strength materials.The present paper reports the manufacturing and the biocompatibility behaviour of two different biocomposite coatings consisting of alumina (Al2O3) and hydroxyapatite (HA) using the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying method which were deposited onto the surface of a commercially pure titanium substrate. The biological properties of the Al2O3-HA materials were evaluated by in vitro studies. The morphology of the coatings before and after their immersing in the simulated body fluid (SBF) solution was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed an important germination of the biologic hydroxyapatite crystallite on the surface of both coatings.

Gypsum and slurry with high content of Cl- lead to the damage of desulfurization pump caused by erosion and corrosion. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and shield metal arc welding (SMAW) were employed to develop weld repairing technology. High-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying was employed to prepare NiCr cermet coating and WC cermet coating against erosion and corrosion. Microstructures and mechanical properties of the weld and the protective coatings were tested. The mechanical properties of the weld joints with duplex microstructure were in accordance with related standards. The technology of HVOF sprayed NiCr cermet coating was selected to prolong the service lifetime and was applied on the pump casing and impeller repaired by using the weld repairing procedures developed in this study. The integrity of the pump parts after 30 months in-field service confirmed the reliability of the repairing technology and the protection technology.

High velocity arc spraying was used to prepare FeCrAl/Al composite coating on Q235 steel substrate by simultaneously spraying FeCrAl wire as the anode and Al wire as the cathode. The composite coating was sprayed with varying voltage and current to obtain optimum coating characteristics. FeCrAl coating was also prepared for comparison purposes. The surface microstructure of the coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average microhardness of the coatings and the substrate was analyzed and compared. Corrosion resistance was investigated by means of electrochemical tests. The image results showed that a lamellar structure consisted of interwoven layers of FeCrAl and Al. Al and FeCr constituted the main phases with traces of oxides and AlFe intermetallic compounds. The average porosity was reduced and microhardness of the coatings was improved with increasing voltage and current. The FeCrAl/Al coating formed alternating layers of hard and ductile phases; the corrosion resistance of the coatings in the sodium chloride (NaCl) solution depended on the increase in Al content and spray parameters. The corrosion resistance tests indicated that FeCrAl/Al coating had a better corrosion resistance than the FeCrAl coating. FeCrAl/Al can be used to coat steel substrates and increase their corrosion resistance.

Abstract Hardmetal-like coatings of the TiC-Ni system are potential for use as wear, corrosion and heat resistant coatings in various operation conditions. Our previous works [1-12] have shown that these materials are well sprayable using different thermal spray processes such as plasma, D-Gun and HVOF spraying. Since HVOF spraying is today the most important process used to apply carbide based coatings, this study was carried out in order to evaluate more systematically the sprayability of these novel spray powders and the influence of HVOF spray parameters on some coating properties. Coating samples were prepared by using DJ Hybrid gun with propane as a fuel gas, and a CDS gun with hydrogen fuel gas. Oxygen flow rate was varied in both cases for changing the flame temperature. Microstructure, phase composition, hardness, and abrasion wear resistance of the coated samples were investigated. The results showed that both HVOF processes used give satisfactory coating properties and that the use of high oxygen flow rates is beneficial for improving the wear resistance of the coatings. Powders with fine particle size are beneficial in the DJ Hybrid process; the use of coarse powders results in coatings with somewhat higher wear rates. The optimum spray condition for the TiC-Ni system powders differs from that typically used for conventional WC-Co and Cr3C2-NiCr powders by a higher flame temperature.

Abstract Over the past 30 years, there has been considerable interest in the development of thermally sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for aerospace and land based turbine applications. The use of TBCs enables higher operating temperatures, resulting in significant fuel efficiency savings. This paper reports on the development of dense Yttria Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings produced by High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) spraying using acetylene as the fuel gas. The use of a high temperature gas erosion rig allowed the controlled evaluation of erodent size, velocity, impact angle, and temperature on coating performance. The work also covers the optimization of process parameters, including powder morphology, stand-off distance, oxygen to fuel ratio, gas pressures, and flowrates, and their effect on coating characteristics such as deposition efficiency, microhardness, and surface roughness.

In this study, the CoCrAlYTa-10%Al2O3 coatings were prepared by the high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) spraying. A series of ball-on-disk sliding wear tests were conducted to evaluate the tribological properties of the coatings at different temperatures (25 °C, 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C). The results showed that the average coefficients of friction (COFs) of the CoCrAlYTa-10%Al2O3 coatings were lower than that of H13 steel at different temperatures. The average COFs of the CoCrAlYTa-10%Al2O3 coatings and H13 steel both decreased with increasing temperature. The wear rate of the CoCrAlYTa-10%Al2O3 coatings increased first and then decreased. The microhardness of worn surface of the CoCrAlYTa-10%Al2O3 coatings increased with increasing temperature, while the microhardness of worn surface of H13 steel at 25 °C and 200°C was higher than that at 400 °C and 600 °C. The wear mechanism of the two materials was mainly abrasive wear. The tribofilms were formed on the worn surface of the CoCrAlYTa-10%Al2O3 coatings, which had a good protective effect. Due to thermal softening and low binding strength of debris, it was difficult for H13 steel to form the tribofilms. The wear rate of H13 steel was much higher than that of the CoCrAlYTa-10%Al2O3 coatings at 400 °C and 600 °C, indicating that the high temperature wear resistance of the coatings was much better than that of H13 steel.

The study is to develop a novel bionic micropump, mimicking blood-suck mechanism of mosquitos with a similar efficiency of 36%. The micropump is produced by using micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology, PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) to fabricate the microchannel, and an actuator membrane made by Fe-PDMS. It employs an Nd-FeB permanent magnet and PZT to actuate the Fe-PDMS membrane for generating flow rate. A lumped model theory and the Taguchi method are used for numerical simulation of pulsating flow in the micropump. Also focused is to change the size of mosquito mouth for identifying the best waveform for the transient flow processes. Based on computational results of channel size and the Taguchi method, an optimization actuation waveform is identified. The maximum pumping flow rate is 23.5 [Formula: see text]L/min and the efficiency is 86%. The power density of micropump is about 8 times of that produced by mosquito’s suction. In addition to using theoretical design of the channel size, also combine with Taguchi method and asymmetric actuation to find the optimization actuation waveform, the experimental result shows the maximum pumping flowrate is 23.5 [Formula: see text]L/min and efficiency is 86%, moreover, the power density of micropump is 8 times higher than mosquito’s.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to prepare WC-10Co-4Cr coatings using two processes of plasma spraying and high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying. The decarburization behaviors of the different processes are analyzed individually. The microstructural characteristics of the as-sprayed coatings are presented and the wear mechanisms of the different WC–10Co–4Cr coatings are discussed in detail. Design/methodology/approach The WC–10Co–4Cr coatings were formed on the surface of Q235 steel by plasma and HVOF spraying. Findings Plasma spraying causes more decarburizing decomposition of the WC phase than HVOF spraying. In the plasma spraying process, η(Cr25Co25W8C2) phase appears and the C content decreases from the top surface of the coating to the substrate. Practical implications In this study, two WC–10Co–4Cr coatings on Q235 steel prepared by plasma and HVOF spraying were compared with respect to the sliding wear behavior. Originality/value The wear mechanisms of the plasma- and HVOF-sprayed coatings were abrasive and oxidation, respectively.
