Chlorine-induced high temperature corrosion of HVAF-sprayed Ni-based alumina and chromia forming coatings (2017)
Journal Article

Chlorine-induced corrosion of HVAF-sprayed Ni21Cr and Ni5Al coatings was investigated in 5 vol.% O2 + 500vppm HCl + N2 with and without KCl at 600 °C up to 168 h. Both coatings were protective in the absence of KCl. With KCl, Ni21Cr degraded through...
