In　this　study,　nickel-base　cored　wires　were　prepared　by　using　NiCr　strip　to　wrap　metal　powders　of　nickel　(Ni),　chromium　(Cr),　molybdenum　(Mo),　and　chromium　boron　(CrB).　Nickel-base　coatings　were　prepared　by　electric　arc　spraying.　Microstructures　of　Ni-Cr-Mo　and　Ni-Cr-B　coatings　were　investigated　using　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM),　energy-dispersive　analysis　(EDAX),　and　x-ray　diffraction　(XRD)　analysis.　The　coatings　have　a　compact　surface　and　presented　a　bonding　strength　higher　than　40　MPa.　Potentiodynamic　polarization　measurements　and　salt-spray　test　were　carried　out　to　determine　the　corrosion　behavior　of　the　coatings.　The　results　showed　that　Ni-base　coatings　containing　Mo　(5%)　or　B　(2-4%)　had　better　antichlorine　ion　corrosion　performance　than　that　of　Ni-base　coatings　without　Mo　element,　and　PS45　(Ni-Cr-Ti)　coating.　The　antichlorine　ion　corrosion　coatings　could　be　used　for　resolving　the　corrosion　protection　problem　of　the　equipment　and　piping　contacting　sour,　alkali,　salt　liquid　in　petrochemical　engineering　applications.　©　ASM　International.
