Boiler steelNi-20 CrDetonation sprayingThe coating demonstrated significant resistance to oxide scale spallation during cyclic exposures[7]
S355 steelTungsten carbide, chromium carbide, and aluminum oxideHigh-velocity oxy-fuelWC-CoCr provides better protection than uncoated steel, whereas Al2O3 provides poor protection[22]
Hydroturbine steelNickel-based coatingsHigh-velocity flame sprayTiO2 and Al2O3 intense splats were observed evenly. According to micrographs, the interface between the substrate and the coatings was free of breaks[23]
13Cr4Ni steelNi-Al2O3 coatingsHigh-velocity flame sprayNi-Al2O3 coating composition with 40 wt. % Al2O3 demonstrated the best resistance to slurry erosion[24]
17-4 pH stainless steelZinc followed by stearic acidElectrodeposit ionThe coating, as received 17-4 pH stainless steel sample in a simulated seawater medium, demonstrated enhanced coating adhesion and corrosion resistance than other fabricated surfaces[25]
Invar steel substratesFe-based amorphous coatingD-gun spraying and then cryogenic cycling treatment (CCT)CCT improves the fracture toughness of Fe-based amorphous coatings, the coatings’ ability to resist crack transmission improves significantly, allowing the coatings’ wear resistance to improve significantly[26]
Martensitic stainless steel86WC-10Co-4Cr and 75Cr3C2-25NiCrD-gun sprayingThe 75Cr3C2-25NiCr coating on martensitic stainless steel has more wear resistance than cumulative weight loss[27]
Boiler tube steel10, 20, and 35 wt% of Cr3C2 in NiCrHigh-velocity oxy-fuelAll the coatings on the ASME SA213 T-22 used for the investigation proved corrosion resistance after being exposed to a destructive Na2SO4-V2O5 solution in the furnace for 50 hours at 800°C[28]
Carbon steel substratesFe-Cr-Nb-B alloysDetonation spraying and spark plasma sinteringDue to small particle bonding strength and incomplete crystallization, which concentrated the consolidated material incompetent of sustaining appreciable plastic deformation, the wear resistance of the sintered Fe66Cr10Nb5B19 alloy was lower than that of the Fe66Cr10Nb5B19 DS coatings[29]
Stainless steel substratesSS 444 and SS 316High-velocity oxy-fuelThe lack of protective passivity in thermal spray coatings is primarily inherited from the atomized powdered stainless steel material[30]
12Ch18N10 T steelAl2O3 coatingsDetonation sprayEnsuring high hardness and wear resistance of the D-gun spraying of Al2O3 coating, the volume fraction of α-Al2O3 must be increased[31]
Al2O3/Al cored wiresMarine steelsArc sprayingThe enhanced tribocorrosion resistance of the Al-20 percent Al2O3 coating is due to the Al matrix’s high hardness in the layer, greater load-bearing capacity, compact structure, and superior wear-induced corrosion resistance[32]
