In this work, the corrosion resistance of Inconel 625 coatings applied to AISI 4140 steel plates was evaluated. Coatings were produced by High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) by use of two different equipment which use either kerosene (liquid) or propane (gas) as fuel. The resulting coatings were evaluated in two conditions: as-deposited and after a surface finishing process by grinding. Residual stress distributions in the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction and their morphology was verified through metallography and roughness measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization corrosion testing complemented their analysis. The results show a strong influence of the surface finishing process on the corrosion performance of the coatings.
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.
