Item Effect of microwave heating on microstructure and elevated temperature adhesive wear behavior of HVOF deposited CoMoCrSi-Cr3C2 coating(Elsevier B.V., 2019) Prasad, C.D.; Joladarashi, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Srinath, M.S.; Channabasappa, B.H.This research reports the improvement of high-temperature sliding wear resistance of a grade 15 titanium alloy protected by an HVOF sprayed CoMoCrSi-Cr3C2 coating. The coatings have been tested in as-sprayed condition and after a post-deposition microwave heating step. The powder feedstock has been manufactured by high energy ball milling. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with the Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) methods were used for coatings characterization. Surface roughness, microhardness, adhesion strength, and porosity of coatings were also measured. The wear test was conducted at an applied load of l0 N and 20 N with varying temperatures of 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C under dry sliding conditions. Co3Mo2Si, Co7Mo6, Mo3Si, Co3Mo, and Co2Mo3 were the intermetallic laves phases generated in the CoMoCrSi feedstock during HEBM process. The microwave-fused coating exhibited metallurgical bonding, homogeneous structure, less porosity, and greater hardness as compared to as-sprayed coating. Microwave-treated coating revealed better wear property than an as-sprayed coating. This was mainly due to the intermetallic formation and metallurgical bonding in coatings. The fused coatings exhibit tribo-oxide layers during sliding action which was the main phenomenon of improving the wear resistance of the fused composite coatings. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.Item Comparison of Microstructural and Sliding Wear Resistance of HVOF Coated and Microwave Treated CoMoCrSi-WC + CrC + Ni and CoMoCrSi-WC + 12Co Composite Coatings Deposited on Titanium Substrate(Springer Science and Business Media B.V. editorial@springerplus.com, 2020) Prasad, C.D.; Joladarashi, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Srinath, M.S.; Channabasappa, B.H.CoMoCrSi-WC + CrC + Ni and CoMoCrSi-WC + 12Co composite coatings are coated on titanium substrate by high velocity oxygen fuel method (HVOF). Prior to spraying, CoMoCrSi feedstock are processed through high energy ball milling (HEBM) in order improve the intermetallic laves phases and to reduce its particle size. The processed feedstock exhibits amorphous nature by improving laves phases and particle size of 60.12 ?m. Microwave heating energy is utilized as post heat treatment technique to improve the mechanical and metallurgical properties of as-sprayed coatings. Fused coatings reveals better properties in terms of surface roughness, porosity, microhardness and adhesion strength compared to as-sprayed coatings. Metallurgical bonding is observed in case of fused coatings due to diffusion of substrate elements. Frictional and wear behaviors have been investigated by a pin on disc apparatus at temperatures of 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C under normal loads of 10 N and 20 N. Both wear trace and friction coefficients of the fused coatings are smaller than as-sprayed coatings and substrate at all test temperatures. The wear traces of fused coatings decreased with increasing the surface temperature due to the lubricant effect of cobalt oxides formed on the sliding surface. As a result, cobalt based cermet coatings are highly recommended as a durability improvement coating for the protection of sliding surface, such as high speed spindle. © 2020, Springer Nature B.V.Item High-Temperature Oxidation Studies of Plasma-Sprayed NiCrAlY/TiO2 and NiCrAlY/Cr2O3/YSZ Cermet Composite Coatings on MDN-420 Special Steel Alloy(Springer, 2021) Madhu Sudana Reddy, G.; Prasad, C.D.; Shetty, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Rao, T.N.; Patil, P.The plasma spray process was used to form 70%NiCrAlY + 30%TiO2 and 70%NiCrAlY + 25%Cr2O3 + 5%YSZ cermet coatings on MDN-420 special steel alloy. Cyclic oxidation testing was conducted on coated and uncoated specimens at 700°C under a static air environment. Thermogravimetric analysis was applied to establish the oxidation kinetics. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) techniques were used to analyze the oxidized products. The NiCrAlY + Cr2O3 + YSZ coating was found to be most resistive when compared with the NiCrAlY + TiO2 coating in the aggressive oxidation environment. Net weight loss was observed for bare MDN-420 alloy due to sputtering. The oxidation resistance of the coatings was due to formation of Cr2O3, NiCr2O4, NiO, and Al2O3 phases. © 2021, ASM International.Item Investigation of thermally sprayed NiCrAlY/TiO2and NiCrAlY/Cr2O3/YSZ cermet composite coatings on titanium alloys(Institute of Physics, 2022) Madhu Sudana Reddy, G.; Prasad, C.D.; Patil, P.; Shetty, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Nageswara Rao, T.The present work investigates the hot corrosion behavior of thermally sprayed 65 pct NiCrAlY + 35 pct TiO2 and 65 pct NiCrAlY + 30 pct Cr2O3 + 5 pct YSZ coatings on titanium 15 alloys. The coatings on the titanium 15 alloy substrates exhibit a near-uniform, dense, and adherent microstructure with a porosity of 2.7 to 2.9%. Thermogravimetric studies are made to examine the hot corrosion performance of coatings in a molten salt environment of Na2SO4 + 60%V2O5 at the temperature of 700 °C for 50 cycles. One cycle is carried out by heating for a period of one hour and cooling the sample at ambient conditions. The corrosion products are analyzed based on scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, and X-ray diffraction techniques to study the morphology, phase composition, and abundance of the high-temperature corrosion constituents. The bare titanium-15 alloy, 65 pct NiCrAlY + 35 pct TiO2 coating and 65 pct NiCrAlY + 35 pct Cr2O3 + 5 pct YSZ coating produced a weight gain of 307.92 mg cm-2, 42.16 mg cm-2 and 44.02 mg cm-2 respectively after the period of 50 cycles. The effective resistance of the coatings is due to the formation of Ni3V2O8, NiCr2O4, Cr2O3 & AlV2O4 phases. © 2022 IOP Publishing Ltd.
