Cold Spray Coating for Corrosive Conditions

Abstract

Corrosive degradation of materials is an economic and environmental issue. It is not possible to eliminate this problem; however, there is a need to work on the ways to slow down this process of material failure. The present study is related to the surface modification of the material by cold spray technique for applications in highly corrosive waste incinerator conditions. Primary requirement of waste incinerators is waste management for environment protection; however, the environment is highly corrosive resulting in corrosive failure of the materials. Cold spray coating microstructure is tested in this study to test its suitability for corrosive conditions. It is estimated in this study that cold spray modified alloy may increase the working efficiency of the materials in highly corrosive environmental conditions.
