Abstract:This study focuses on achieving effective deposition of a Ni and 15% ZrB2 particle mixture onto SS-304 substrate surfaces through meticulous preparation steps. Thorough cleaning of the SS-304 substrate using alcohol in an ultrasonic bath eliminated contaminants, ensuring optimal adhesion. Simultaneously, the Ni-ZrB2 mixture underwent preheating at 1200°C for 20 hours in a muffle furnace to eliminate moisture content, crucial for preventing coating defects. Uniform distribution of the preheated powder onto the … Show more
