Abstract
Plasmasprayed ceramic coatings inherently contain pores and microcracks which is deleterious when performed in aggressive environment Various methods were applied to the assprayed coatings in order to improve the corrosion resistance In the investigation of this study plasmasprayed NiCrAl/Cr2O38 wtTiO2 coatings were sealed by epoxy resin and silicone resin respectively Coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy SEM/EDS optical microscopy OM and xray diffraction XRD The possible corrosion mechanism was discussed The results of salt spray test and electrochemical measurements indicated that after the sealing treatment the porosity of coatings decreased obviously and a compact layer was formed to protect the coating from corrosion The silicone resin proved to be more effective than epoxy resin in enhancing the corrosion resistance of the coatings used in this research
