| Abstract: |
Coatings produced by thermal spray are very important in applications that require high wear resistance combined with satisfactory chemical properties. New methods of deposition as
HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) allow the spray deposition of advanced materials with the main advantage of forming a highly dense and adherent coating. The use of non oxide ceramics as thermal sprayed coatings aims to promote outstanding surface properties. The objective of this study was to investigate and characterize the development of a Boron Carbide based coating for protection against damage caused by corrosion and abrasion in harsh environments like humid wire drawing in the steel industry. From the results it was possible to identify a wide range of applications for the studied coating in equipment components.
