Sažetak

In this research work, nano yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) reinforced Cr3C2-25NiCr compo­site coatings were prepared and successfully deposited on ASME-SA213-T-22 (T22) boiler tube steel substrates using high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying method. Different nanocomposite coatings were developed by reinforcing Cr3C2-25NiCr with 5 and 10 wt.% YSZ nanoparticles. The nanocomposite coatings were analysed by scanning elec­tron microscope (SEM)/Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The porosity of YSZ- Cr3C2-25NiCr nanocomposite coatings was found to be decreasing with the increase in YSZ content, and hardness has been found to be increasing with an increase in the percentage of YSZ in the composite coatings. The coating of 10 wt.% YSZ-Cr3C2-25NiCr showed the lowest porosity, lowest surface roughness, and highest microhardness among all types of coatings. This may be due to the flow of YSZ nanoparticles into the pores and gaps that exist in the base coatings, thus providing a better shield to the substrate material.
