  Plasma pit problem
Posted by: Maximusss2689 - 12-08-2022, 02:43 PM - Forum: Surface Engineering Threads - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,

This is my first post but I have been following this forum for a long time and I always found helpful topics.
Thanks to everyone for this. 

I need your help about one issue that's why I'm writing. Recently we have a pit problem on the plasma coating that we see after grinding operation.
We use F4MB-XL gun and 81vfns powder. We don't see it on all the parts but it occurs sometimes. What can be the reason for this? I also added some photos for the pits that we encounter. We have some doubts about the gun spare parts but even we changed the newly we still see after changing.

Lightbulb Plate Rolling / Roll bending Roller worn
Posted by: gerdogan - 12-02-2022, 12:36 PM - Forum: Surface Engineering Threads - Replies (1)

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone has experience coating plate rolling machines' rollers. A company uses a plate roller to form a cylindrical shape of aluminium sheets, and as the roller has some scratch marks due to wear over time, those scratch marks leave unwanted stains on the aluminium sheets. What would you suggest to me? I thought applying 2 mm metcoloy 2 coating those rollers would be enough. As the machine is the core element of their production line company hesitated to apply a coating and consider using it the way it is.

I do not have any info about the machine yet but to my best knowledge, the roller material is 1050 steel with a 500mm diameter.

Thank you all in advance

  Voltage Increase in Sinplex pro Oerlikon Gun
Posted by: DMan - 11-05-2022, 09:40 AM - Forum: Surface Engineering Threads - Replies (3)

Hi all

I have observed an increase in Plasma Gun voltage from 78 to 85 volts of late in our Sinplex Pro Oerlikon.
Took all the correctives ( Nozzle/electrode/Neutrode/Anode/Cathode Power hose /New Manifolds/Change of Ar/H2 batches to higer purity ) but things dont work out . We caliberate our Plasma gun every year.

Can someone guide me on any other factors I can look at.

Warm Regards
DMan

  CrC-NiCr cracking network
Posted by: louishong - 10-07-2022, 05:36 AM - Forum: Surface Engineering Threads - Replies (6)

Hi, We are facing cracking issues on the HVOF coating, below are some basic info:

Product: 48 inch valve stem, used on O&G industry, high temperature 700 C max, high erosion environment exposure to propane, hydrogen)
Base material: 1.4988/X8CrNiMoVNb 16-13, austenitic steel
Coating: Oerlinkon-Metco 81VF-NS, applied by HVOF, Cr3C2-NiCr. Coated stem will slide on the Valve packing(graphite) and guide bushing(cast iron)
Finished stem: after coating&grinding: PT-dye penetration shows no defects at room temperature
After hot test: Stem was assembled into Valve, and Valve assembly was hot function tested at 650 C, heating/cooling rate is below 25 C/hour. After hot test, PT shows cracking network
 
We discussed with our HVOF supplier, coating thickness shall be 0.2mm after grinding according to the drawing, but our supplier said actual thickness is 0.3 to 0.5mm. the stem distortion is too much after spraying, so they have to reduce the O.D. of the base material, and spray more,
 
We are deeply concerned with the quality and life of coating, can you pls help to analyze the root cause of cracking? Is it normal for the CrC-NiCr to crack after heating/cooling cycle? Is it easy to flake off as the stem will slide 8000 times each year?
