Micrography, as polished, of the transverse section of the forged pin with the layer applied by a (thermal) spray and fuse process. The layer presented entrapped pores and globular oxides. It was melted after application by thermal spray (in this case using a flame) but the pin was not heat treated after the full application and melting of the layer and the base metal is ferritc-pearlitic.

Micrography of the thermal spray (TS) layer showing the different alloys, gray oxides and black voids. The Ni base TS alloy is of a yellow colour at the interface with the shaft substrate (in the left). The Cr base TS alloy appears white, similar to the shaft substrate. Longitudinal section of the shaft.

Cm - As polished micrographyDf - Surface Layer
Low magnification micrography of the interface between the pin and the spray and fuse layer. Close to the surface, under the layer, the pin presents a ferritic perlitic structure, non conform with the high strenght requirement. Transverse section.

Cm - As polished micrographyDf - Low Mag
Micrography, as polished, of the transverse section of the forged pin, showing a crack in the thermal spray layer, thickness about 0.8mm. The spray and fuse process was conducted in a low alloy steel, type AISI 4130, but the quenching and tempering heat treatment was not applied later, and the pin body presented low strenght, evidencing plastic deformation after hydrostatic testing, that cause the layer cracking.

ML00108 — Thermal Spray Layer in a Pinion ShaftM - High Strength Low AlloyP - ShaftAp - EngineCd - Coating Defect
Micrographic detail, as polished in a longitudinal section, of the interface between the shaft substrate and the thermal spray layer. In the left it is the shaft substrate also presenting parts of aligned inclusions (gray). In the center it is the Ni base TS alloy and in the right it is the Cr base TS alloy. There are also black voids and grey oxides.
