Item Corrosion Behaviour and Characterization of Thermal Sprayed Coating of Nickel Chromium Cermet on Low Carbon Steel(Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Amudha, A.; Shashikala, H.D.; Nagaraja, H.S.Corrosion is the major problem faced by Navy, especially when pumps, ship impellers and other components have to work in harsh environments like sea water. Therefore, high corrosion resistant metal ceramic matrix 75Cr3C2- 25 (NiCr) cermet has been one of the good choices for coating. In this study, we are discussing the HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) coating of 75Cr3C2-25(NiCr) on the low carbon steel substrate, IS 2062 grade B. The as coated samples were annealed at 600°C for 1 hour, 2hour and 3hours. The electrochemical tests were conducted for corrosion evaluation. Structural analysis was done by using X-Ray diffraction technique. Microstructure and thickness of the coating was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Density measurement studies were done on as-coated and annealed coupons. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.Item Electrochemical corrosion behaviour of nickel chromium-chromium carbide coating by HVOF process(American Institute of Physics Inc. subs@aip.org, 2018) Amudha, A.; Nagaraja, H.S.; Shashikala, H.D.To overcome the corrosion problem in marine industry, coatings are one of the most economical solutions. In this paper, the corrosion behaviour of 25(NiCr)-75Cr3C2 cermet coating on low carbon steel substrate by HVOF process is studied. Different phases such as Cr7C3 and Cr3C2, along with Ni and chromium oxide(Cr3O2) constituents present in the coating were revealed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The morphology of the coating obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM) gave confirmation for the XRD analysis. Electrochemical corrosion techniques such as Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the corrosion behaviour of the cermet in 3.5wt% NaCl electrolyte solution. The corrosion current density of the coated sample and substrate were found to be 6.878μA/cm-2 and 21.091μA/cm-2 respectively. The Nyquist Impedance spectra were used to derive an equivalent circuit to analyze the interaction between the coating and electrolyte. The Bode Impedance plots obtained by EIS for the coating showed a typical passive material capacitive behaviour, indicated by medium to low frequency with phase angle approaching -60o, suggesting that a stable film is formed on the tested material in the electrolyte used. © 2018 Author(s).Item Plasma-sprayed graphene oxide reinforced alumina composite coatings on low carbon steel with improved fracture toughness, brittleness index, and microhardness(Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Amudha, A.; Nagaraja, H.S.; Shashikala, H.D.In this work, the mechanical properties of atmospheric plasma-sprayed Al2O3and Al2O3-xGO (x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt%) coatings on low carbon steel was evaluated using the Vickers indentation technique, and the effects of GO addition in microhardness brittleness index and fracture toughness were investigated. The Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) techniques were employed to analyze the microstructural characterization of the plasma-sprayed coatings and to confirm the retention of GO in the Al2O3-xGO composite after the plasma spray. It was found that the Vicker's microhardness of as-sprayed Al2O3is 4.148 GPa and it decreased with the increase in the addition of GO and for Al2O3-2.0GO, it is 3.305 GPa. The fracture toughness of Al2O3is 4.86 (MPa m1/2) whereas for Al2O3-2.0GO is 16.85 (MPa m1/2). The fracture toughness has increased whereas the brittleness index has decreased as the weight percentage of GO addition is increased in the Al2O3-GO composite. Thus, the plasma-sprayed Al2O3and Al2O3-xGO coatings suggest that 2 wt% GO addition helps in the improvement of brittleness, fracture toughness, and the microhardness. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

In the present work, carbon steel coated with SS309Mo stainless steel. and the Inconel625, as first and second layers respectively using weld cladding process are subjected to EIS. The EIS under different applied potentials are studied. The EIS results are fitted to get the best equivalent circuit for the two coatings. The protective nature of the passive films essentially related to its electrochemical circuit parameters such as capacitor and charge transfer resistance are obtained. The charge transfer resistance under different applied potentials revealed good corrosion resistance properties of the coatings. © 2020 Author(s).
