Abstract

Purpose

The amorphous Al-Ni-Fe-Gd coatings were fabricated to improve anti-corrosion performance of offshore platforms.

Design/methodology/approach

The amorphous Al-Ni-Fe-Gd coatings were first fabricated on S355 steel using the laser thermal spraying.

Findings

The amorphous forming capability and corrosion resistance increases with the laser powers increasing.

Research Limitations/implications

The amorphous Al-Ni-Fe-Gd coatings were applied on S355 steel of offshore platforms to increase its long-term heavy and anti-corrosion protection.

Originality/value

The amorphous Al-Ni-Fe-Gd coatings were first fabricated using a laser thermal spraying, improving its anti-corrosion.
