The thickness of the coated surface, cross section of coating and various phase present in coated surface were investigated using various parameter combinations as per Taguchi method in detail. In industries, various types of coatings are used in so many applications. Different methods are employed to protect the material from abrasion, corrosion, degradation, etc. Thermal spraying is one of the most effective methods to protect the material from high temperature corrosion, stresses and erosion, thus increasing the life of material in use. Flame spray coating is a thermal spraying technique known for providing hard, wear resistant and dense microstructures coatings. Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray diffractometer used to analyze uniformity of coating surface and various phase present in coating. In flame spraying process parameters is more affected on the coating performance. By changing the process ...
