Summary: The TiC-Ti5Si3-Ti3SiC2 coating was successfully prepared by reactive plasma spraying using agglomerated Ti-SiC-graphite powders as raw material. The influence of SiC particle size on the microstructure and properties of the coating was investigated. A decrease in SiC particle size resulted in increased TiC content and decreased Ti5Si3 and Ti3SiC2 content in the reaction product phase. The coating prepared with finer SiC particles exhibited reduced surface roughness, highest density (porosity: 11.76%), highest hardness (1132 HV0.2), more uniform elemental distribution, and superior wear resistance compared to the coating prepared with coarser SiC particles.

Summary: In this study, Ti-Si-C composite coatings were synthesized via plasma spraying with agglomerated powders prepared using Ti, Si, and sucrose powders. The Si content was found to influence the microstructure, mechanical properties, and oxidation resistance of the coatings, with changes in phase composition and hardness as Si content increased. The presence of Ti5Si3 in the coatings led to increased wear volume loss at room temperature, while the oxidation resistance improved with higher Si content.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
