Numerical and experimental analysis of temperature field and mechanical analysis for the multi-layer Cr3C2-NiCr coating deposited by HVOF

•A novel finite element model of Cr3C2-NiCr coating considering the kinetic energy contribution of particles was developed.•The model contributes to the simulation and prediction of temperature evolution and mechanical property of the coating.•The larger convection coefficient effectively reduces the final deflection of the specimens and the final residual stress.•The reduction of heat flux can reduce the temperature accumulation from the initial stage.
