Abstract

INCONEL® nickel-chromium alloy 625 is widely used for its high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and creep resistance on prolonged exposure to aggressive environment. However, despite its properties and industrial application, its wear resistance is not entirely satisfactory. The article investigates and presents the tribological performance of Inconel 625 coating using reciprocating scratch test. High velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) method was used to deposit Inconel 625 film onto 304 stainless steel surfaces. The frictional behavior and wear data were studied in order to observe the effect of coating thickness on wear failure. The results revealed that coatings of higher thickness showed lower coefficient of friction, better adhesion and good wear resistance in comparison to the low coating thickness.
