High temperature wear and corrosion of engineering components is a major challenge in terms of surface degradation. A potential solution has been the use of thermal spray coating particularly nickel superalloy-based and ceramic-based in order to alter the surface properties and increase the life of such parts. The present study aims to investigate the mechanical and microstructural changes in Inconel 625 + 30% Al2O3 composite coatings created on SS-304 steel substrates using high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray technology. A systematic analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of microwave post-processing on the surface morphology, hardness, and wear resistance of the coatings. The results indicate that microwave post-processing significantly enhanced the coating's microstructural integrity and mechanical performance. Enhanced wear resistance and improved surface characteristics were observed, indicating that this method could be a viable technique for the optimization of thermal spray coatings in engineering applications.
