DenSys DS-200 coating is a proprietary HVOF Cr{sub 3}C{sub 2}-NiCr cermet coating used in elevated temperature service environments including fluidized bed boilers, coal-fired boilers and municipal waste incinerators. The elevated temperature erosion-corrosion (oxidation) behavior of this HVOF Cr{sub 3}C{sub 2}-NiCr coating was investigated using a range of test temperatures, impact angles, erodents, and particle velocities. The erosion-corrosion behavior of HVOF Cr{sub 3}C{sub 2}-NiCr coatings was compared with 1018 steel and other thermal-spray coatings including FeCrSiB (Armacor M), Ni-base, Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}-6SiO{sub 2}-4Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} (Rokide C), Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}-12SiO{sub 2}-2Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-4MgO (Rokide MBC), and WC-NiCrCo (SMI 712). It was found that the erosion-oxidation resistance of HVOF Cr{sub 3}C{sub 2}-NiCr coating was higher than 1018 steel and other coatings at both impact angles 30{degree} and 90{degree}. The erosion-oxidation behavior of coatings was well related to their morphology. The high erosion-oxidation resistance of the HVOF Cr{sub 3}C{sub 2}-NiCr coating was attributed to its low porosity, fine grain structure and homogeneous distribution of hard carbides/oxides which form a skeletal network within a ductile and corrosion-resistant metal binder.
