Abstract
In the current study, the thermal spray coated cast iron was analysed for the property and structure correlation. The high velocity oxy-fuel process was utilised for depositing the alloy poder on the cast iron. The mechanical properties of the coatings was characterised in order to have ides about the hardness and wear rate. The coatings deposited on the cast iron have a thickness of 250 microns. The Vickers hardness tester was utilised for having the hardness values and the deposited coating showed the hardness of 378 Hv0.2. The hardness of the base material was founf to be 210 Hv0.2. The abrasive wear test was used as per standard of ASTM-G99. The SEM analysis was used to have the microstrutural and property correlations.The microstructural study includes the structure of the powder used, coating and XRD analysis as well. The deposited coating showed th excellent adherence to the base material, thereby showed the good bond strength
