Study on the Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Erosive Wear Behavior of HVOF Sprayed Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-15 wt.%TiO<sub>2</sub> Coating with NiAl Interlayer on Al-Si Cast Alloy

Alumina oxide coatings are widely used in many industrial applications to improve corrosion protection, wear and erosion resistances, and thermal insulation of metallic surfaces. The paper presents study of the microstructure, mechanical, and wear properties of HVOF (high velocity oxy-fuel process)...
