In this study, the author investigated the effects of strengthening treatments on the mechanical properties of plasma sprayed Ni-base self fluxing alloy. Strengthening treatments for sprayed specimens were carried out in 4 different temperature conditions in vacuum furnace. The mechanical properties, such as microhardness, thermal shock resistance and erosion resistance were tested for the sprayed specimens after strengthening treatments. And it was proved that the mechanical properties of coating layer were much improved by strengthening treatments.

Ni-base self-fluxing alloy powder particles were flame sprayed onto the SS400 mild steel substrate surface. The effects of both substrate temperature and spraying distance on the splat behavior of sprayed particles were examined. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) In the splat behavior of Ni-base self-fulxing alloy particles sprayed onto the SS400 mild steel substrate, splashing was observed under the room temperature condition. On the contrary, it showed circular plate pattern in the substrate temperature range over 373K. 2) It was cleared that there was close relationship between mechanical properties of coating layer and splat behavior of sprayed particles. 3) From the experimental results, optimum spraying conditions showed excellent mechanical properties in the case of Ni-base self fluxing alloy sprayed onto the SS400 mild substrate were 473K of substrate temperature and 250mm of spraying distance.

This study aims at investigating the wear behavior of thermally sprayed Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings against different counterparts. Ni-based self-flux alloy powders were flame-sprayed onto a carbon steel substrate and then heat-treated at temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$. Dry sliding wear tests were performed using the sliding speeds of 0.2 and 0.8 m/s and the applied loads of 5 and 20 N. AISI 52100, $Al_2O_3$, $Si_3N_4$ and $ZrO_2$ balls were used as counterpart materials. Wear behavior of Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings against different counterparts were studied using a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was revealed that wear behavior of Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings were much influenced by counterpart materials.

This study aims at investigating the effect of heat treatment conditions on the dry sliding wear behavior of thermally sprayed Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings. Ni-based self-flux alloy powders were sprayed onto a carbon steel substrate and then heat-treated at 700, 800, 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes in a vacuum furnace. Dry sliding wear tests were performed using sliding speed of 0.4 m/s and applied load of 6 N. AISI 52100 ball(diameter 8 mm) was used as counterparts. Microstructure and wear behavior of both as-sprayed and heat-treated Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings were studied using a scanning electron microscope(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), electron probe micro-analysis(EPMA) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). It was revealed that microstructure and wear behavior of thermally sprayed Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings were much influenced by heat treatment conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate polarization characteristics of heat-treated Ni-based self-flux alloy coating in alkaline solution. Ni-based self-flux alloy powder was sprayed to a steel substrate using flame spray process, and heat treatments were performed in a vacuum furnace at $800^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. After heat treatments, corrosion tests were carried out using potentiostat/galvanostat at solution with pH 8 and pH 13. Corrosion potential(Ecorr) and corrosion current density(Icorr) could be analyzed from polarization curve. Anticorrosive effect of heat-treated coating at solution with pH 8 was relatively greater than at solution with pH 13. Heat-treated coating at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed the greatest anti-corrosion characteristics in alkaline solution.

This study aims at investigating the effect of a fusing treatments on anti-corrosion characteristics of Ni-based self-flux alloy coating. Ni-based coatings were fabricated by flame spray process on steel substrates, and fusing treatments were performed using a vacuum furnace at $800^{\circ}C$ $900^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. After fusing treatments, corrosion tests were carried out using potentiostat/galvanostat at solution with pH 2 and pH 6. Corrosion potential(Ecorr) and corrosion current density(Icorr) could be analyzed from polarization curve. Fusing-treated coating at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed more favorable anti-corrosion characteristics than as-sprayed coating. Anticorrosive effect of fusing-treated coating at solution with pH 2 was relatively greater than at solution with pH 6. Fusing-treated coating at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed the most excellent anti-corrosion characteristics.
