Abstract
The current investigation's objective was to assess the air jet erosion tester's ability to measure the erosive behaviour of plasma sprayed coatings on titanium-15 alloy. 65% NiCrAlY, 30% Cr2O3, and 5% YSZ make up the coating's chemical composition. A study of microstructure and phases was carried out. Microhardness and adhesive strength have both been measured in this work. With impact angles of 30° and 90° at 300°C, 500°C, and 700°C, Al2O3 erodent was utilised in a solid particle erosion test. An optical profilometer was used to calculate the erosion volume loss. The coating erosion resistance was found to be higher than the substrate sample for the test temperature that was employed, and this was more obvious at higher impact angles and higher temperatures The ductile character of the coating is seen in the contour of the deteriorated coating surface.
