The microstructural evolution under the extreme environments imposed during cold spray deposition of cermet coatings and the microstructural recovery during post-processing annealing treatments is rather complex and not well understood. Here, Ni-Yttria cermet coatings on an SS304 substrate were produced using cold spray technique, resulting in a bimodal grain structure. The grain growth, phase stability, hardness, and wear properties are observed in as-deposited and annealed (at 400 °C) Ni-Yttria and pure Ni coatings. A multimodal microstructural characterization using electron microscopy, and atom probe tomography shows the structural and compositional stability of yttria particles and Ni grains. A fragmentation of Y-rich particles and dispersion in Ni was observed, however, no forced mixing/dissolution of Y in Ni is detected. Nano-yttria dispersed within the Ni grains slowed the grain growth during annealing. After annealing, Yttria reinforced coating was 1.5 times harder and showed better thermal and mechanical stability compared to the Ni coating.
