| Abstract: | Nickel-based alloy and composite coatings were obtained on an 18-8 stainless steel substrate by a plasma spraying technique. They were sintered in a vacuum furnace (10?2 Pa) to improve toughness and to reduce hardness. The cavitation erosion resistance of these coatings was evaluated using a rotating disc apparatus. The results of the investigation reveal that sintered coatings are several times better than “as-sprayed” plasma coatings. The sintered coatings can help in increasing the length of the incubation period. |
