HVOF Coating Case Study for Power Plant Process Control Ball Valve Applications

This is a case study of the failure of the coating on an on-off metal-seated ball valve (MSBV) used in supercritical steam lines in a power plant. The valves are exposed to rapid high-pressure and -temperature variations resulting in cracking and cohesive failure of the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) 80/20 Cr3C2-NiCr coating. It was found that carbide precipitation is a major factor causing embrittlement of the coating.
