Abstract

To increase the performance of the compound casting, the corrosion-wear behaviour of a Zinc Silicate coating on the surface of IS 2062 Grade B Carbon Steel using high velocity oxygen fuel spraying is assessed. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the Zinc Silicate coating, as well as its thickness, were investigated. . Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), surface roughness, and co-efficient of friction were used to investigate the coating's corrosion behaviour. From the perspectives of powder qualities and process parameters, the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of coatings was explored. When compared to uncoated materials, experimental results revealed that the microstructure of the coating was noticeable, and the wear properties are also improved.
