Abstract: Ni-20Cr coating was deposited on a commonly used boiler steel ASTM A213 347H by high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process to enhance its high-temperature corrosion resistance. High temperature corrosion behaviour was investigated for the uncoated and HVOF sprayed Ni-20Cr coated boiler steel in a simulated boiler environment (Na₂SO₄-60%V₂O₅) at 900°C for 50 cycles.

Keywords: high temperature corrosion; boiler steel; protective coating; oxide scales; Ni-20Cr; high velocity oxyfuel; HVOF thermal spray; corrosion resistance; simulation; corrosion kinetics; steel coatings.
