High-temperature strength and corrosion resistance of alloy steel coatings
The investigated coatings were deposited by ion-plasma method while spraying cathode 12X18H10T steel
and composite cathodes. It is shown that the larger the surface tension of the coating, the greater the heat
resistance. Since the surface tension of the metal is proportional to its melting temperature, it follows that the
high-temperature strength primarily depends on the melting point of the metal. The higher melting
temperature metal, the higher the recrystallization temperature. As shown experimentally, that the greater the
surface tension of the coating, the greater the corrosion resistance.
Key words: coating, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, surface tension, melting point, recrystallization.
Introduction
Under high-temperature strength
refers to the ability of the material to resist mechanical failure at high
temperatures. Already in the 80s of the last century it became clear that you must not go towards the creation
of special heat-resistant alloys and application technology to create a variety of heat-resistant coatings to
parts of machines and mechanisms operating in extreme conditions. In subsequent years, the interest in heat-
resistant materials and coatings continued to grow with the development of rocket and space technology, en-
ergy, etc.
If the product is working in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature (500..550)
o
C without large loads,
it is sufficient that they were only heat-resistant (for example, parts of heating furnaces).
To improve the heat resistance of the steel elements are introduced, which form oxides with oxygen
dense lattice structure (chromium, silicon, aluminum). High heat resistance have silhromy, nickel-based
alloys — nichrome, steel 08Х17Т, 36Х18Н25С2, 15Х6СЮ.
Heat resistance — the ability of a metal to resist plastic deformation and fracture at high temperatures.
Heat-resistant materials are used for the manufacture of parts operating at high temperatures when there is a
phenomenon of creep.
In both cases there is a failure of metals, alloys and coatings. The destruction of the metals in supply of
thermal energy is accompanied by accumulation of thermal stress, leading to an increase in the density of
dislocations, various defects [1–3].
A special place in the complex of measures to ensure the smooth operation of the equipment is given
the reliable protection against corrosion and wear.
Corrosion protection is for many years one of the topical issues that are of great importance for the in-
dustry and the national economy [4–8].
The need for measures to protect against corrosion is dictated by the fact that the losses from corrosion
bring very big damage. According to reports, about 10% of the annual production of the metal used to cover
irrecoverable losses due to corrosion and subsequent spraying. The main damage caused by the corrosion of
the metal is associated not only with the loss of large amounts of metal but with the damage or failure of
themselves metal structures and mechanisms, as a result of corrosion of various parts and components neces-
sary to lose strength, ductility, impermeability, thermal and electrical conductivity, reflectivity ability and
other necessary qualities.
To reduce the cost of metal, increasing the reliability and durability of machine parts and equipment,
there are only two ways:
• the use of special steels and alloys;
• coating of articles during manufacture or repair.
Since the production of special steels and alloys due to the consumption of scarce and costly special
materials and components, in all industrialized countries is not increasing production of special steels and
alloys, using the most advanced technology for coating and hardening of parts.

Although niobium is chemically inert, but it has a coating of a columnar structure characteristic of sin-
gle-phase films. Therefore, acid or enriched with honey water diffuses these «pillars». With simultaneous
sputtering of niobium and niobium oxide, the latter being an amorphous structure, fills the space between the
pillars and dramatically increases the value of the diffusion barrier.
Heat resistance steel alloy coatings
We investigated coatings were deposited by ion-plasma method while spraying cathode 12X18H10T
steel and composite cathodes. Method for determination of heat resistance is based on GOST 6130-71 «Metals.
Methods for determination of heat resistance» and coatings the determination of heat resistance of thermal
spray coatings. Heat resistance is determined by exposing the coated specimens (and uncoated control) in an
air oven for a predetermined time at a constant temperature, followed by weighing, examination, metallo-
graphic examination. Accelerated cyclic tests carried out by switching off the oven (10–50) hours. The re-
sults of the experiment are shown in table 1 and 2.

Comparison of the results in Tables 1 and 2 with the results of [30] follows the conclusion: the greater
the surface tension of the coating, the greater the heat resistance. If the heat resistance mark — ζ, say some-
thing mathematically can be expressed as a functional relationship:

where C — a constant.
Since the surface tension of the metal is proportional to its melting temperature, it follows that the high-
temperature strength primarily depends on the melting point of the metal.
Corrosion resistance of alloy steel coating
In cases where the corrosion process proceeds as general corrosion, to evaluate the corrosion rate can
change the amount of metal used in a process changing the amount of the reaction agent (oxidant), or one of
the products of corrosion over time. Since the corrosion process is heterogeneous, the appropriate quantita-
tive characteristics should be referred to the unit surface.
Tables 3 and 4 shows the corrosion rate at 600 °C investigated coatings is determined by the formula:

Comparison of the results of Tables 3 and 4 with Table 5 follows the conclusion: the greater the corro-
sion resistance of the coatings tested is not inferior to the most corrosion-resistant steel.
Moreover, any of the surfaces of tables 3 and 4 are significantly superior corrosion resistance of steel
45, which is widely used as a structural steel in the manufacture of: pinion shafts, crankshafts and camshafts,
gears, spindles, tires, cylinders, cams and other normalized, improves, and subjected to heat treatment of su-
perficial parts, which are required increased strength.
Estimation of melting and crystallization of alloyed steel coatings

to make assumptions about the additive effect of dopants on these values.
Using the results of experimental determination of the surface tension of the multi-element surfaces,
and results of the calculation of this value on the basis of elemental analysis can show that the average value
of the surface tension is the value of the additive. In this case, the melting point of the coating can be esti-
mated by the formula:

As shown in tables 6 and 7, the melting point of the coatings obtained in argon lower than coatings ob-
tained in a nitrogen atmosphere. Especially the big difference is observed for the coatings doped zirconium.
Melting steels depends on their chemical composition, but is in the range (1450–1520) K. As shown in
tables 6 and 7 coating 12X18H10T+Al, 12X18H10T+Fe-Al and 12X18H10T+Cu, prepared under argon, at a
temperature of the melting far superior to all steel.
Conclusion
In this paper was not intended to produce heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings. Using multi-
element coverage, we wanted to show the connection between the properties of the coating and the surface
energy of the coating, as well as provide a methodology for evaluating the heat resistance and corrosion re-
sistance of coated materials.
