Electrodeposited Inconel and Stellite-like Coatings for Improved Corrosion Resistance in Biocombustors
This work deals with problems in the Third World – namely improving the safety and efficiency of cookstoves used by people around the world. A scalable and economic process is required to apply coatings on low-cost stainless steel substrates for enhanced high temperature corrosion resistance specifically targeted towards biomass combustion apparatus. Cost effective, scalable, and flexible electrodeposition-based coating of various alloys [Ni/Co]-Cr-[Mo/Fe] system, that are able to withstand high temperature corrosion and improve the functional lifetime of existing and next generation bio-combustors components is a desirable technological advancement. Within this context, a wide array of electrolytes and processing parameters were evaluated to develop an ideal alloy coating.
