Abstract
A thermal spray material feedstock is provided for 'flash-carbide' coatings. Flash carbide coatings are thin, dense, and smooth thermal spray coatings that self-activate the substrate. Flash-carbide coatings form and peen the coating to impart compressive stress for good adhesion and corrosion resistance. To achieve this combination of properties and performance, a powder that includes fine, dense, and angular particles is used; however, this powder alone results in a poor deposition efficiency of typically less than 20%. The present disclosure mitigates the poor deposition efficiency of this powder alone by providing a composition having two or more different particles at a specific ratio to improve deposition efficiency with sufficient optimized stress and corrosion properties and, in some cases, an increase in coating performance.
