Slurry erosion-corrosion behaviour of high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) sprayed Fe-based amorphous metallic coatings for marine pump in sand-containing NaCl solutions

摘要

Corrosion and slurry erosion-corrosion (E-C) behaviour of FeCrMoMnWBCSi amorphous metallic coatings (AMCs) compared with 304 stainless steel was investigated by static electrochemical measurements and weight loss tests under rotating conditions in simulated seawater. E-C rates of the AMCs increased with flow velocity, particle size, sand content and NaCl concentration. The AMCs are preferentially attacked at coating defects. The superior E-C resistance of AMCs can be attributed to the high micro-hardness, alloying elements and amorphous microstructure. The AMCs with better slurry E-C resistance may be good candidates to solve the E-C problems of marine pumps in sand-containing seawater.
