Item HVOF sprayed Ni3Ti and Ni3Ti+(Cr3C2+20NiCr) coatings: Microstructure, microhardness and oxidation behaviour(Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Reddy, N.C.; Kumar, B.S.A.; Reddappa, H.N.; Ramesh, M.R.; Koppad, P.G.; Kord, S.This paper reports the development of Ni3Ti and Ni3Ti+(Cr3C2+20NiCr) coatings on AISI 420 stainless steel (MDN-420) and titanium alloy ASTM B265 (Ti-15) by HVOF technique. Microstructure, microhardness and high temperature oxidation behaviour of coatings were investigated. Microstructure of coatings was dense and displayed layers depicting lamellar structure. The microhardness of coatings was significantly higher than that of substrate owing to higher density and cohesive strength between individual splats of coating materials. Cyclic oxidation studies conducted on Ni3Ti and Ni3Ti+(Cr3C2+20NiCr) coatings showed oxide scale was composed of various oxides like NiO, NiCr2O4 and Cr2O3 phases. The formation of compact and protective NiO phase in case of Ni3Ti coatings; NiO and Cr2O3 phases in Ni3Ti+(Cr3C2+20NiCr) coatings stabilised the weight gain exhibited slow oxidation rate at higher temperatures. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.Item Microstructure and Adhesion Strength of Ni3Ti Coating Prepared by Mechanical Alloying and HVOF(Pleiades Publishing compmg@maik.ru, 2018) Reddy, N.C.; Ajay Kumar, B.S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Koppad, P.G.In the present work we report the development of Ni3Ti intermetallic compound by high energy ball milling of Ni and Ti powders. The ball milled powders were taken at various intervals (4, 6, 8, 10, and 11 h) to analyze the formation of NixTix intermetallic compounds. The ball milled powders were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The layered shaped powder particles of Ni3Ti phase were formed after 11 h of ball milling, which was confirmed by X-ray peaks. Further High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) process was used to coat Ni3Ti and Ni3Ti + (Cr3C2 + 20NiCr) on MDN 420 steel. Both the coated materials displayed excellent cohesion with minimal porosity less than 2%. The tensile adhesion strength test was carried out on these coatings to check the bond strength. Out of the two the Ni3Ti coating showed excellent bond strength of 41.04 MPa compared to that of Ni3Ti + (Cr3C2 + 20NiCr) coating. © 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.Item Microstructure and tribological characteristics of APS sprayed NiCrBSi/flyash cenosphere/Cr2O3 and NiCrBSi/flyash cenosphere/Mo composite coatings at elevated temperatures(Institute of Physics Publishing helen.craven@iop.org, 2019) Nagabhushana, N.; Rajanna, S.; Mathapati, M.; Ramesh, M.R.; Koppad, P.G.; Reddy, N.C.In the present investigation NiCrBSi/flyash/Cr2O3 and NiCrBSi/flyash/Mo composite coatings are developed using atmospheric plasma spray technique on superni 76 alloy. Coatings are characterized in terms of microstructure, phase analysis, and microhardness. Tribological properties of the coatings are evaluated using a pin on disc tribometer. Test is conducted under dry sliding conditions at room temperature, 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C respectively. Microstructure and worn surfaces of the coatings are analyzed by utilizing Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) where in phase analysis is carried out using x-ray diffractometer (XRD). XRD results revealed the presence of ?-Ni as primary phase along with Ni3B, Cr7C3, SiO2 and Al2O3 as minor phases in both the NiCrBSi/flyash/Cr2O3 and NiCrBSi/flyash/Mo coatings. Among the two coatings, Mo composite coating exhibited lower porosity and higher microhardness. The friction coefficient of both the coatings decreased with increasing temperature. The wear rate is found to decrease at lower temperatures but increased at a higher temperature (>400 °C) for Cr2O3 composite coating wherein Friction coefficient is decreased with increase in the temperature for Mo composite coatings. The worn surface analysis conducted revealed abrasive wear at lower temperatures while the transition from abrasive to adhesive is observed at higher temperatures. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.Item Hot corrosion behaviour of HVOF sprayed Ni3Ti and Ni3Ti + (Cr3C2 + 20NiCr) coatings in presence of Na2SO4-40%V2O5 at 650 °c(IOP Publishing Ltd custserv@iop.org, 2019) Reddy, N.C.; Koppad, P.G.; Reddappa, H.N.; Ramesh, M.R.; Babu, E.R.; Varol, T.Ni3Ti and Ni3Ti + (Cr3C2 + 20NiCr) coatings were deposited on gas turbine based ASTM B265 titanium (Ti-15) and AISI 420 stainless steel (MDN-420) substrate materials using HVOF technique. Thermocyclic hot corrosion tests were carried out at 650 °C in molten salt environment of Na2SO4-40%V2O5 for about 50 cycles. Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out to study the hot corrosion kinetics of uncoated and coated titanium and stainless steel substrates. The weight gain per unit area showed that the coated substrate materials displayed better resistance to hot corrosion when compared with that of uncoated substrate materials. The surface morphology of uncoated and coated substrate materials were analysed using scanning electron microscopy and elemental analysis. The formation of different types of oxides and compounds were analysed using x-ray diffraction. The uncoated substrates surface showed microspalling at several regions while coated substrates surface were composed of protective oxide layers. The presence of ternary NiCr2O4 protective oxides on the surface of Ni3Ti + (Cr3C2 + 20NiCr) coated substrates leads to reduction in the diffusion of corrosive species inside the coating. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.Item Investigation of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cast Al–10Zn–3.5Mg–2.5Cu Nanocomposite Reinforced with Graphene Nano Sheets Produced by Ultrasonic Assisted Stir Casting(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Alipour, M.; Keshavamurthy, R.; Koppad, P.G.; Shakiba, A.; Reddy, N.C.Microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy Al–10Zn–3.5Mg–2.5Cu/graphene nanoplates composites produced by ball milling and stir casting have been investigated. The presence of dispersed Graphene nano plates with high specific surface area significantly increases the strength of the composites. The microstructural studies of the alloy revealed that graphene nano plates addition reduces the grain size, but adding higher graphene nano plates content (1 wt% graphene nano plates) does not change the grain size considerably. Further investigations on tensile tests revealed that the addition of graphene nano plates increases ultimate tensile strength. Samples under T6 heat treatment (heating up to 460 °C for 8 h, quenching in water (25 °C) and aging at 120 °C for 24 h) show better strength than other samples. At higher graphene nano plates contents, the presence of graphene agglomerate on grain boundaries was found to be the favored path for crack growth. The composite containing 0.7 wt% graphene nano plates exhibits tensile strength of 582 Mpa. © 2022, American Foundry Society.
