Abstract
Hydraulic turbine steels experience severe wear and tear due to cavitation erosion (CE), impacting their efficiency and lifespan. This study investigates the microstructure and cavitation erosion performance of cold-sprayed tungsten carbide (WC) coatings on hydraulic turbine steel (CA6NM). Two coatings, namely WC-12Co and WC-17Co, were cold sprayed on turbine steel (CA6NM) by using a cold spray process. Then the microstructure analysis of the deposited coatings was done using SEM and XRD. Further, the cavitation erosion performance was examined using an ultrasonic vibration tester. The results indicate that WC decarburization did not occur. The microstructured WC-Co coating exhibits the lowest porosity and dense microstructure. Additionally, it was shown that the WC-Co coating has the greatest cavitation erosion resistance and it reduces the cavitation erosion rate by about one-third when compared to bare steel. In addition, higher jet velocity, normal impingement angle, and moderate stand-off distance were determined to be the dominant cavitation erosion variables that produced the maximum cavitation erosion. Among both coatings, WC-17Co coatings possessed higher hardness and microcrack resistance compared to WC-12Co. This may be due to their higher hardness and denser microstructure of WC-17Co coating than WC-12Co coating. Thus, this study demonstrates the potential of cold-sprayed WC-based coatings for protecting hydraulic turbine steels against cavitation erosion.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
