Abstract

These days, during the issues of climate change, there has been a shift in the energy industry from using fossil fuels to more environmentally friendly fuels such as biomass fuels. Biomass fuel is considered CO2 neutral because the carbon produced during combustion in the form of CO2 emissions can be used for new plant growth. However, besides the advantages of using biomass fuel, a problem arises when biomass fuel contains a high concentration of corrosive agents, which can be released along with hot fuel gas. These corrosive agents can damage the boiler components. Coating technology is one of the solutions to protect components that work at high temperatures against the corrosion threat. One type of coating that can be used in high-temperature applications is NiCrAlY coating by the high-velocity oxide (HVOF) process. One interesting topic that people are developing is using nano-scale coating to increase the coating’s resistance against hot corrosion and cracking. Nano-scale powder feedstock is needed to produce nano-scale coating material. In this research, top-down method is used to synthesis nano-scale powder. One of top down method, the high-energy ball milling processs, is a promising method to synthesize nano-scale powder material. Therefore, in this research, the ball milling process is used to prepare nano-scale product. The results showed that this method was successful to make the nano-scale powder. The nano-scale powder was characterized by several methods to investigate the morphology and properties of the powders. However, there are still many challenges in producing nano-scale powder that meets HVOF feedstock powder requirements. In the long run, it is expected that this research can answer those challenges so that at the end, the good quality of nano-scale powder can be achieved
