Evaluation of Thermal Sprayed CoatingsEvaluation of thermally sprayed coatings is an integral

part of coatings development and quality control duringthe production process.The main coatings evaluation methods include:- Metallographic analysis (thickness, porosity, presence/absence of unmelted particles, cracks, delaminationsand separations, coatings and interfacecontaminations).

- Microhardness measurements (average microhardnessand distribution of the microhardness through thecoating).

- Mechanical testing (cohesion/adhesion and bendtesting).

- Stresses analysis in the coating using Almen stripstesting.

- Service properties (for example, wear resistance,corrosion resistance, etc).

There are different ASTM standards that give very usefulguidelines for coating preparation and testing, but becauseof the large diversity of equipment, the huge variety ofcoatings and coatings/substrate combinations, theguidelines are not tailored to specific coatings andequipment; different coatings experience differentbehaviors during sample preparation and testing; in somecases that might result in inadequate interpretation of theresults.An important factor in metallographic analysis of thermal

sprayed coatings is sample preparation which has asignificant effect on coating presentation. It involvessample sectioning, cleaning, mounting, grinding (planarand fine) and polishing (rough and final).The main source of error in metallographic evaluation of

thermally sprayed coatings and interpretation of testresults is the damage that could occur during samplepreparation for the analysis. For the majority of sprayed

Thermal Spray Applications inThe Energy and Petrochemical Industries

Corrosion has always been a major problem for the energyand petrochemical industries, regardless of whether in theemerging renewable energy sector or the more traditional

fossil fuel industries. In this instance we are looking at twospecific areas of concern; wind turbine towers, due to theirextreme locations, and the very aggressive corrosion underinsulation (CUI) experienced in the petrochemical industry.The wind turbine industry is growing rapidly. In the UK

alone there are in excess of 3,000 wind turbines (Figure 1)in operation, over 800 under construction and severalthousand more expected to be erected by the year 2020.Many manufacturers of wind turbines specify thermalsprayed zinc or zinc/aluminium alloys as a method of

Thermal Spray Applications in The Energy and PetrochemicalIndustries continued from page 1corrosion protection. Thermal sprayed coatings offer a veryresilient finish, which is less susceptible to damage thanmany paint coatings. When the size of this growingindustry is taken into account protecting against corrosionis crucial.Onshore wind turbine towers are commonly manufactured

in three or four sections. Each section is often thermalsprayed around the flanged joints and up to 1.6 ft (0.5 m)either side of these joints, both inside and out. Many off-shore towers are specified to have the entire externalsurface to be coated. In addition, areas around the internalbolting fixtures and access hatches are thermal sprayed togive added protection against assembly damage, as well asgeneral wear and tear. Some wind tower sections can be inexcess of 100 ft (30 m) long, making any corrosionprotection process very challenging. Thermal spraying withthe Metallisation Arc140 electric arc spray system makesthe whole process much simpler than more traditionalthermal spray systems. The 66 ft (20m) push/pull suppliespackage allows the power source, wire and wire dispensingsystem to be located outside the tower section, while theoperator moves along the inside, spraying where required.This flexibility also is beneficial when spraying the outsideof the tower sections, allowing the power source and wirefeeder to be kept away from the dusty spray area. The

coated sections are then painted to the manufacturer’sspecification.One of Metallisation’s Spanish customers uses automated

thermal spraying to spray components within the assemblythat support the turbine blades (Figure 2). The actualcoating with pure zinc is only one part of the process. Incommon with all thermal sprayed coatings, the surface ofthe turbine part is first grit blasted to a profile of around3 mils (75 microns) and a cleanliness of SA3. A robotmounted arc spray system applies an even 4.7 mils (120microns) of zinc at a spray rate of up to 79 lb/hr (36kg/hr). A final coating of epoxy paint is then applied. Thisis an excellent way to protect wind turbines from corrosionand offers up to 20 years protection.In the petrochemical industry Corrosion Under Insulation

(CUI) in piping systems consumes a significant percentageof the maintenance budget. A large portion of this moneyis spent on expense items such as external pipinginspection, insulation removal and reinstallation, paintingand pipe replacements. CUI prevention strategies providelong-term and reliable prevention of CUI that move towardsinspection-free and maintenance-free piping systems andsignificant maintenance cost reductions.

CUI, where accelerated corrosion can occur under wetinsulation, will always be an issue for new pipes andvessels. Coating with TSA (thermal sprayed aluminium) isan ideal and cost-effective solution when compared toother systems when reviewed over the lifetime of thefacility. One of Metallisation’s customers; Iris NV, based inBelgium; has embraced the process of thermal spraying toprotect against CUI with many of its own customers. Iris NVthermal sprays new vessels and pipework pre- installation.The preparation of the steelwork surfaces is critical to thesuccess of the thermal spraying process. Prior to sprayingthe distillation columns, the surface needs to be preparedby grit blasting with steel grit to SA 2.5, with a surfaceroughness between 3 and 4.3 mils(75 and 110 µm. This isthen arc sprayed with aluminium Grade 1350 (99.5% Almimimum) to a thickness of 9.8 mils (250 µm). Finally aseal coat is applied to the columns.As well as new installations, existing insulated pipe and

vessels are often protected against CUI, as part of anongoing maintenance and safety regime. It is of course

materials, the damage is mainly due to localized material removal (voidformation) during sectioning, grinding and polishing stages. For soft, ductilecoatings, smearing of the material over the voids, mainly during sectioning andplanar grinding stages, may have an additional effect as well.There are numerous factors that govern sample preparation quality: applied

force, time, surface speed, relative rotation, equipment and supplies used, clothcondition, etc. The present research, performed on different coatings (ceramic,multi-layer and composite) revealed that a change in any of these factors mightproduce a different effect for each coating family.

Microhardness of the coating is identified as a key factor for polishingprocedure development. There is a common trend, the higher microhardness ofthe coating, the more severe the polishing parameters (higher polishing forceand time, increased surface speed) for proper sample preparation.Applied force, polishing time and coating orientation have been demonstrated

to play a significant role in the quality of the microstructural representation.Usually, the equipment manufacturers’ recommended applied force is of 20-30 Nper specimen. Similar values of applied forces are seen in the ASTM standardE1920 for metallographic preparation of thermally sprayed coatings.For ceramic and cermet coatings with relatively moderate microhardness (for

example TiO2, ZrO2, Cr3C2-NiCr) these recommendations result in high qualitysamples that are scratch and pull-out free (Figure 1).

However for some ceramic coatings with relatively higher microhardness (forexample, Cr2O3) the formation of pull-outs was very high when the same forcewas applied, sometimes even doubling the voids percentage. To correct this, aprocedure specifically tailored to coatings with high microhardness should beused. This procedure uses an increased force and may result in a 30-50%reduction in pull-out formations (Figure 2).

For metallic coatings that have a low microhardness, a similarly tailoredprocedure should be used which includes a reduction of the polishing force. Thisresults in much less coating damage to the metallic coatings and decreased pull-out formations (Figure 3).

Proper positioning of the coated sample during polishingis another very important characteristic that has asignificant influence on the polishing quality. In mostpublications and polishing recommendations, the locationof the mounted sample in relation to the wheel movementdirection is not specified. If it is specified, Figure 4a is themost common placement used.The research, performed on a wide range of metallic,

ceramic and cermet coatings, confirms that less coatingdamage is achieved when the sample is positionedperpendicularly to the wheel movement (Figure 4b, 4c). Ithas also been shown that the positioning of the coating inrelation to the substrate is also of importance. The bestresults for various metallic coatings are attained when thecoating is positionedfrom the left side ofthe substrate (Figure4b). For ceramic andcermet coatings, lessdamage occurred whenthe coating ispositioned from theright side of thesubstrate (Figure 4c).Figure 4. Different

positions of mountedsamples in the holdingwheel:(a) parallel to the wheel movement;(b) perpendicular to the wheel movement, with the

coating located on the left side of the substrate;(c) perpendicular to the wheel movement, with the

coating located on the right side of the substrate.Oftentimes, coatings consist of a combination of a

metallic bond coat and a ceramic top coat,with or without a graded metallic/ceramiclayer. All of these layers have differentproperties and, therefore, behave differentlyduring polishing. Typically, when polishingparameters are optimized for one layer of amultilayered coating, it is likely that theother layers may not be optimally polished.To better characterize the entire structure,polishing and analyzing each of the coatingsis recommended. This implies that the

sample must be polished and analyzed twice (for a two-layer system), once using the procedure for metals and thesecond time using the procedure for ceramics. As a typicalexample, the cross-section of the same two-layer coating(Ti bond and Cr2O3 top) that was polished using differentpolishing procedures is presented on Figure 5.

In some cases, the change in applied force maycompromise other quality characteristics of the polishedsample. For example, edge rounding may occur when usinga high force and some scratches may remain when using alow force. To reduce such polishing flaws, some precautionsmay be taken. For example, when using a high force, acounter sample can be mounted in front of the coating.When using a low force, polishing time during the polishingstages can be increased to remove scratches.The applied force and the polishing time must be high

enough to ensure the complete removal of the coating thatwas deformed during the sectioning and the planargrinding stages. As previously stated, they are stronglydependent on the properties of the coating, especially onits microhardness. For a coating with high microhardness,for example, a ceramic with the microhardness equivalentto or greater than 1000 HV, the recommended time is 2-5minutes for each step during the sample integrity stage ofpreparation. However, if the coating is dense, has a highcohesive strength, and has a relatively low microhardness;more economical polishing procedures can be used. Forexample, TiO2 or ZrO2 coatings with microhardness valuesbetween 650-850 HV can be prepared using 30% lesspolishing time and still maintain the same quality. By usingshorter polishing procedures, high polishing qualities andsubstantial savings on expensive polishing supplies andequipment are attainable.

hoped that maintenance inspection programs can bereduced in years to come through the implementation of aCUI prevention strategy. Pipes are stripped of insulation toenable engineers to inspect the pipework for potentialdamage and excessive corrosion. A series of nondestructivetests are then carried out before the surfaces are gritblasted to SA 3 where possible. In normal circumstances, itis at this stage that TSA will be applied using wire flamespray equipment and; in some cases, the surfaces aresealed. The final stage is then to reapply the insulation tothe pipework. This coating solution is increasing in volume,with a number of global oil companies adopting thisprocess within many plants around the world. Confidence inthe application process and technique has grown to suchan extent that coating of live plant is commonlyundertaken.These few application examples give a small insight into

Journal of Thermal Spray Technology®A publication of the ASM Thermal Spray SocietyCharacterization of Thermal Spray Coatings forCylinder Running Surfaces of Diesel Engines

Mareike Hahn and Alfons FischerFuture demands of diesel engines are about low-frictionand wear-resistant materials in order to increase theefficiency and achieve environmentally sound solutions.Thus, thermally sprayed Fe-base coatings areinvestigated for application as cylinder running surfacesin cast aluminum crankcases. They should allow thedesired combination of structural, productional, and top-ographical properties required in Diesel engines. Tounderstand the influence of the characteristicmicrostructures on the integrity of the composites thecoatings have to be examined in laboratory tests interms of different loading situations. Cavitation testswere carried out where the tribological stability of thesecoatings and their ability to resist high-frequency cyclicimpact stresses are revealed. Composite samples (basematerial and coating) were investigated in terms of crackinitiation in a scanning electron microscope with an insitu 3-point-bending test. The endurance under cyclicmechanical stresses was tested with a 4-point-bendingstress controlled test.
