| Popis: | PurposeThis paper aims to perform the solid particle erosion studies in simulated coal-fired boiler conditions with a view to compare the erosion behavior of two different types of detonation gun (D-Gun) sprayed cermet coating powders, that is, WC-12%Co and Cr3C2-25%NiCr on ASTM A36 steel and bare (uncoated) ASTM A36 steel.Design/methodology/approachErosion studies were performed using an air jet erosion test rig at impingement angles of 45°, 60° and 90°. During the erosion studies weight loss, erosion rates in terms of volume loss (mm3/g) and measurement of erosion profiles were determined using optical profilometer.FindingsBoth cermet coatings had successfully protected the ASTM A36 steel from erosion at impingement angles of 45°, 60° and 90°. In the case of bare ASTM A36 steel, the erosion rates were maximal at an impingement angle of 45° and minimal at an impingement angle of 90°, thus depicting the peculiar erosion behavior of ductile materials. WC-12%Co coated specimens exhibited erosion behavior that is closer to the behavior of ductile materials. Cr3C2-25%NiCr coated specimens exhibited the maximum erosion rate at an impingement angle of 90° and minimum at an impingement angle of 45°, hence depicting the typical behavior of brittle materials.Practical implicationsIt is expected that these results will contribute to the improvement of erosion resistance of induced draft fans, by the application of D-Gun sprayed WC-12%Co and Cr3C2-25%NiCr cermet coatings.Originality/valueThis paper evaluates the solid particle erosion behavior of bare and cermet-coated ASTM A36 steel which will be helpful in choosing the suitable cermet coating for induced draft fan applications. |
