DenSys DS-200 coating is a proprietary HVOF Cr3C2-NiCr cermet coating used in elevated temperature service environments including fluidized bed boilers, coal-fired boilers and municipal waste incinerators. The elevated temperature erosion-corrosion (oxidation) behavior of this HVOF Cr3C2-NiCr coating was investigated using a range of test temperatures, impact angles, erodents, and particle velocities. The erosion-corrosion behavior of HVOF Cr3C2-NiCr coatings was compared with 1018 steel and other thermal-spray coatings including FeCrSiB (Armacor M), Ni-base, Cr2O3-6SiO2-4Al2O3 (Rokide C), Cr2O3-12SiO2-2Al2O3-4MgO (Rokide MBC), and WC-NiCrCo (SMI 712). It was found that the erosion-oxidation resistance of HVOF Cr3C2-NiCr coating was higher than 1018 steel and other coatings at both impact angles 30° and 90°. The erosion-oxidation behavior of coatings was well related to their morphology. The high erosion-oxidation resistance of the HVOF Cr3C2-NiCr coating was attributed to its low porosity, fine grain structure and homogeneous distribution of hard carbides/oxides which form a skeletal network within a ductile and corrosion-resistant metal binder.
