... to deposit the Ni-based coatings [Ni-Cr-O and NiCrBSiFe-WC(Co)] on the surface of stainless steel (SS 316L) substrate. A Ducom TR-41 erosion tester was used to conduct the tribological experiments on bare/HVOF coated SS 316L. The erosion wear experiments were carried out for different time durations (1.30...

.... Design/methodology/approach – HVOF spraying of coating is achieved, and the coating response to electrolytic solution is measured experimentally in terms of corrosion resistance. Findings – HVOF coating improves the corrosion resistance of the substrate such that the corrosion rate...
