Cobalt-based coatings have been widely applied to provide guidance to cavitation erosion (CE) and corrosion resistance since the coatings possessing superior mechanical and anti-corrosion properties. In this study, we prepared cobalt-based alloy (Stellite 21) coating and WC-17Co coating on 1Cr18Ni9Ti by HVOF. The CE resistances were evaluated in deionized water and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution (NaCl solution), and the anti-corrosion properties were studied using polarization tests. Results show that the WC-17Co coating had superior CE resistance than cobalt-based alloy coating in deionized water because of superior microhardness and fracture toughness characteristics. The WC-17Co coating presented much loose corrosion products (W/Co-oxides) in NaCl solution, which prone to be removed by the mechanical effect of the CE and accelerated the coating damage. On the contrary, the compact Cr oxides formed on cobalt-based alloy coating surface in NaCl solution could seal the pores, preventing to formation of erosion pits, and mitigate the damage of CE. Therefore, the cobalt-based alloy coating exhibited the best CE resistance in NaCl solution and had the potential to prevent CE in seawater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
