Abstract- IJ.ot corrosion is a serious problem in boilers,

gas turbines, internal combustion engines, and industrial waste incinerators. It consumes the
materials at an unpredictably rapid rate. The use of protective coatings has been an answer to remedy the Iack of high temperature surface stability of metals and alloys in harsh environments. Coating can be

temperature hot corrosion (LTHC). High temperature hot corrosion (HTHC) also designated as Type l, occurs at temperatures in the 800 to 950"C range. It is caused by

molten salt deposition on the coating surface. The

primarily active constituent of this salt is sodium sulphate Na2SOa. Low temperature hot corrosion (LTHC), also known as Type 2 , occurs in the 650-750" C range. The low temperafure hot corrosion mechanism involves acidic fluxing of protective oxides by sulphur trioxide (SOr) dissolved in molten sulphates (N bala,2010).

The development of coating technology stems from, and is determined by, the progress of knowledge on high temperature corrosion. Hot components of gas turbines and energy systems operating in aggressive environments are subjected to a number of modes of attacks termed as high temperature corrosion, which include oxidation, sulphidising, carburizing, chlorination, erosion and hot corrosion induced by molten salts. The use of protective coatings has been an answer to remedy the lack of high temperature surface stability of metals and alloys in harsh " environments. Coating provides a way of extending the

The corrosion of materials causes great loss in the industrial applications, especially under some extreme
conditions, the corrosive atmosphere and high temperature ( Teng and Dian, 2009). Hot corrosion is an accelerated form of oxidation that occurs at higher temperature in the presence of salt contaminants such as Na2SO+, NaCl, VzOs that combine to form molten deposits, which damage the protective oxide layer ( N.eliaz et al, 2002). Hot corrosion is a serious problem in boilers, B&s turbines, internal combustion engines, and industrial waste incinerators. As

consequence the load-carrying abilities of the components are reduced (T.S.Sidhu et dl, 20Aq. In combustion products of fuel oil, sulfur is typically present as Na2SO+, which occurs when the metals are heated in the temperature range of 700-900"C, in the presence of sulfate deposits. Vanadium as an impurity in fuel oil causes serious corrosion problems because of the formation of

The hlpersonic velocity of the flame shortens the time of interaction between the powder and flame, whereas low temperature of flame limits the grain growth and decomposition of coating. Due to the high impact velocity of particles the coatings show a high adhesive strength, high cohesive strength of individual splats, uniform microstructure, high density and low porosity with a strong ability to resist high-temperature corrosion resistance (H.Sidhu et al, 2005).
