摘要

This study investigates plasma-enhanced high-velocity arc spraying (PE-HAS) for preparing Al-based coatings to protect marine components against corrosion and wear. By adjusting the spray power, we found that the coating prepared under moderate power achieves optimal overall performance, including low porosity (~2.24%), improved microhardness (~36.58 HV0.1), and high bond strength (40.6 MPa). Its wear rate is reduced by approximately 40% compared to other coatings, and the corrosion current density is lowered to 14.49 μA·cm−2. Microstructural analysis indicates that a dense structure and a stable passive film contribute to these enhanced properties. This work provides valuable insights for designing protective coatings for marine applications.
