A typical structure of thermal spray coatings consisted of molten particles, semi-molten particles, oxides, pores, and cracks. These factors caused the porosity of sprayed coatings, leading to a significant influence on the coating properties, especially their wear-corrosion resistance. In this study, a post-spray sealing treatment of Cr(3)C(2)-NiCr/Al(2)O(3)-TiO(2) plasma-sprayed coatings was carried out, and then, their corrosion properties were evaluated, before and after the treatment. For the sealing process, aluminum phosphate (APP) containing Al(2)O(3) nanoparticles (~10 nm) was used. The permeability of APP into the sprayed coating was analyzed by SEM-EDS. The treatment efficiency for porosity and corrosion resistance of sprayed coatings was evaluated by electrochemical measurements, such as the potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The wear-corrosion resistance of the coating was examined in 3.5 wt.% NaCl circulation solution containing 0.25% SiO(2) particles. The sealing efficiency was evaluated by the percentage of the treated open pores in the coating. The obtained results showed that APP penetrated deeply through the coating and the incorporation of Al(2)O(3) nanoparticles into APP sealant improved the sealing efficiency by 20% of open pores in comparison with the sealant without nano-Al(2)O(3). The effect of the post-treatment on corrosion protection of the sprayed coating has been discussed.

Thermal spray was invented by M. U. Schoop in the early years of the 20th century. This technology has been developing continuously with many different thermal spray methods, and atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is one of them. As shown in the schematic diagram of the APS process ( Fig. 1) , plasma-forming gases are introduced into the spray gun and converted to a plasma state in the presence of arc energy sources (Ref. 1) . The inert gas stream plays the role of transporting the coating material (powder form) into the plasma jet where they are heated and pushed toward the substrate to form the plasma coating. The plasma exits the gun tip, and the trajectory of the material from the tip to the steel substrate is determined by the temperature and velocity of the transport gas (Ref. 2) . The APS is a conventional method for creating different types of coatings, especially ceramic-based ones. This article is an invited paper selected from presentations at the 2021 International Thermal Spray Conference, ITSC2021, that was held virtually May 25-28, 2021 due to travel restrictions related to the coronavirus (COVID- 19) pandemic. It has been expanded from the original presentation. Therefore, plasma spray is one of the techniques which are used widely in surface treatment. In practice, ceramic coatings made by APS have been used in many fields like aerospace, oil and gas, machinery, transportation, metallurgy, marine, and many other industries (Ref. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] . The ceramic composite coating protects the steel against corrosion by a shielding mechanism (Ref. [9] [10] [11] [12] . Thus, the porosity and the anti-corrosion protection characterization of the coating have been interested by scientists for years.

Various works on the Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 coating indicated that the presence of TiO 2 in the Al 2 O 3 coating reduced porosity and enhanced anti-corrosion protection of the coating (Ref. [13] [14] [15] . Sliding wear and corrosion behavior of Al 2 O 3 -13%TiO 2 coating deposited by plasma spray were surveyed by W. Tian, A.F. Kanta et al. (Ref. 16, 17) . In addition, Vargas et al. used the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to study the penetration mechanism of 3.5% NaCl salt solution into Al 2 O 3 -13%TiO 2 coating (Ref. 18) . As reported, Al 2 O 3 -13%TiO 2 coating was fabricated with the smaller size of spraying powder (5-25 lm) having higher corrosion resistance than coating fabricated with the larger size of spraying powder (15-40 lm 31 ). The authors used 3 sealing solutions with the molar ratio P/Al of 3; 10; and 15 separately. After sealing, the insulation resistance of the coating increased up to 2 times with the P/Al molar ratio of 3 being the highest insulation resistance (*10 13 X at room temperature). Besides, APP also enhanced both cross section hardness and sliding wear resistance of alumina coating due to the increase in its critical stress and reduction of its friction coefficient (Ref. 32) . In particular, the authors found that APP could penetrate the entire depth of 250 lm through the sprayed coating with covering 93% porosity.

On the other hands, Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles have been widely used as nano-fillers for ceramics, coatings, rubber, and plastic industries (Ref. 33) . As reported, an addition of a small amount of nano-Al 2 O 3 (0.05-0.3 wt.%) into the alkyd-based waterborne coating matrices increased significantly their corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and UV resistance (Ref. 1 Schematic diagram of the atmospheric plasma spraying process [2] published a study on the penetration of APP containing nano-Al 2 O 3 into the Cr 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 composite ceramic coating (Ref. 37) . The obtained experimental results demonstrated that APP has penetrated deeply into the coating at a depth of about 90 lm from the surface. Approximately 89% of the open pores in the Cr 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 coating were sealed by APP; thus, the anti-corrosion protection of the coating was greatly enhanced. At this time, our works were the first ones using both APP and nano-Al 2 O 3 to treat the porosity of thermal spraying coatings. In the previous works (Ref. 38, 39) , we reported the permeability of the APP containing nano-Al 2 O 3 (100-150 nm) for the Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 /NiCr coating system. The results showed that APP could penetrate the coating by a depth of *70 lm.

In this study, the influence of the Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles with a smaller size on the microstructure, the porosity, and erosion-corrosion resistance of the Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 coating was investigated. Since the smaller size of particles should have better penetration depth, so we used APP containing 1 wt.% nano-Al 2 O 3 (*10 nm). The Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr coating with the adhesion of about 60 MPa was chosen as a bond coat before applying the Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 top coat (Ref. 40 ). In addition, the Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr bond coat with a good corrosion resistance due to the presence of the NiCr alloy is expected to improve the corrosion protection ability of the Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 coating for the steel substrates. This is also a new point as compared to the previously published studies.

In this work, SS400 carbon steel of dimension 50x50x5 mm with a chemical composition of 0.15% C, 0.13% Si, 0.45% Mn, 0.02% P, 0.03% S, and 99.2% Fe was selected as substrate material. SS400 defined in the standard JIS G3101 is a hot-rolled general structural steel widely utilized in the fabrication of ships, homes, bridges, etc. Steel products made of SS400 carbon steel are popular for proper tensile strength and toughness, good plasticity, welding performance, and processing property. Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr powder with the chemical composition of 10% C, 0.5% Si, 21.5% Ni and a balance of Cr was used as bond coat material. Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 powder was used for top coat deposition. Both the powders were supplied from Wisdom Co. Nano-Al 2 O 3 was supplied from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd., with the commercial name of Aladdin.

Before the spraying, the surfaces of SS400 carbon steel substrate were cleaned in an ultrasonic vibrating bath with acetone, dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C and then grit blasted with corundum (with a grain size of 0.8-1.2 mm). The grit blasting parameters were as follows: grit blasting distance of 100 mm, blasting angle of 90°, and blasting pressure of 8 bar. The Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 top coat and Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr bond coat with the chemical compositions listed in Table 1 were prepared by plasma spray equipment Tafa 3710-PRAXAIR (US) with the technical parameters as shown in Table 2 .

APP was prepared from the solution of phosphoric acid (85% H 3 PO 4 ) and aluminum hydroxide Al(OH) 3 powder diluted with about 20 wt.% of deionized water. The ratio of Al(OH) 3 and H 3 PO 4 was 1:4.2 by weight corresponding to the molar ratio P/Al of 3. The solution mixture was stirred and slowly heated to 115°C under magnetic stirring until the time it became clear. Then, 20 wt.% deionized water was added to the mixture. APP has a viscosity of 72.15 s (measured by a BZ-4 type funnel), density of 1.631 g/ml. Thereafter, 1 wt.% nano-Al 2 O 3 was added to APP and constantly magnetic stirred for 24 hours for better dispersion of the sealant. The APP sealant containing nano-Al 2 O 3 was labeled as APPN.

The Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 /Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr (CNAT) coating samples were immersed into APP and APPN for 5 hours. Then, the sealed coatings were heat-treated to 400°C according to the thermal process given in Fig. 2 . Samples labeling is presented in Table 3 .

The microstructure of the coatings was studied using a scanning electron microscope SM-6510LV. The phase composition was investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD EQUINOX 5000) at 25°C with Cu-Ka radiation, 2h angle scanning from 0.108°to 119.822°, a step width of 0.02°.

The corrosion behavior was determined by potentiodynamic polarization measurement in 3.5% NaCl solution using the VSP-300 multi-channel potentiostat/galvanostat (Bio-Logic Science Instruments, France). The electrochemical test was performed in a three-electrode system using a platinum plate as a counter electrode, an SCE as a reference electrode, and the coating sample as the working electrode (with a surface area of 1 cm 2 ). The polarization curves were obtained at a scan rate of 0.167 mV/s and a scan range of -250 mV to 250 mV/SCE around the open circuit potential (E OCP ) (Ref. 41) . Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the coating samples was measured in 3.5% NaCl solution with the specific parameters as following: the frequency range of 10 5 -10 -2 Hz; 7 points/decade; potential amplitude DE = 5 mV (Ref. 42, 43) . The test was acquired at E OCP .

In addition, the erosion-corrosion resistance of the coatings was tested in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution containing 0.25 % SiO 2 solid grains at room temperature for 168 hours, applying a rotation speed of 2000 rpm (15 m/s) (Figs. 3 and 4) . The change in appearance on the sample surfaces was observed with time during the erosion-corrosion test. Fig. 3 The erosion-corrosion test system J Therm Spray Tech

The structural morphology image of Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr powder of the bond coat shown in Fig. 5 demonstrated a spherical shape with an average particle size in a range of 30-40 lm.

Meanwhile, the SEM image of Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 top coat powder presents a polygonal structure with an average particle size of -45 lm ? 15 lm (Fig. 6) .

The structural morphology of the aluminum oxide nanoparticles in APP solution was determined on the TEM image (Fig. 7) . The analysis results showed that the nanoaluminum oxide was in rod form with a size of up to 12 nm. In addition, the nano-Al 2 O 3 tended to stick together to form clusters. Therefore, the Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles should be evenly dispersed in APP solution.

The XRD spectra of the bond coat and feedstock powder Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr shown in Fig. 8 show that Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr powder mainly consisted of two main phases such as Cr 3 C 2 and Ni. Typical diffraction peaks of Cr did not appear in the XRD pattern of the spray powder. This is explained by Cr in amorphous form or transformed into Cr 3 C 2 phase in the process of making Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr powder. The phase composition of crystals Cr 23 C 6 (cubic), Cr 7 C 3 (hexagonal), Ni (cubic), Cr (cubic), and c-FeNi (cubic) was found for the bond coat Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr. The Cr 23 C 6 (cubic), Cr 7 C 3 (hexagonal), Ni (cubic), Cr (cubic), and c-FeNi (cubic) crystal phases were found in Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr coating. Meanwhile, the Cr 3 C 2 phase in Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr powder was not found in this coating. This suggested that the Cr 3 C 2 phase was transformed into Cr 7 C 3 and Cr 23 C 6 phases in the Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr coating (Ref. 44, 45) : 7/5 Cr 3 C 2 3/5 Cr 7 C 3 ? C Cr 3 C 2 ? 5/14 O 2 3/7 Cr 7 C 3 ? 5/7 CO 4Cr 3 C 2 ? 13 O 2 6 Cr 23 C 6 ? 8 CO In fact, the spraying process took place in the air at high temperatures, and so some chemical reactions could occur that decomposed the original phases and formed new ones. The FeNi intermetallic phase was detected in the Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr bond coat. The appearance of this phase proved that the high temperature during the spraying process is the reason for the interaction between the Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr bond coat with the steel surface. The formation of the intermetallic phase in the coating has contributed to the increased adhesion of the coating to the steel substrate. The research results of Zhang et al. showed that in addition to the Cr 3 C 2 , Cr 7 C 3 , and Ni phases in the coating as mentioned above, there are also phases such as Cr 2 O 3 , NiCr, CrO 4 , and CrC. In addition to the FeNi intermetallic phase, the NiCr alloy phase present in the coating also contributes to the high bonding strength of the coating as well as the ability to adhere to the steel substrate (Ref. 46) . Figure 9 shows the XRD patterns of the Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 feedstock powder and coating. As shown in this figure, Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 powder mainly consisted of crystal phase Al 2.04 Ti 0.96 O 5 (orthorhombic). There are also several phases like TiO 2 (tetragonal), c-Al 2 O 3 (cubic), and Al 2 O 3 (triclinic). The TiO 2 phase was not detected on the coating surface. This may be due to a fact that TiO 2 was dissolved in c-Al 2 O 3 to form Al 2 TiO 5 solid solution during plasma spraying of Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 .

As shown in Fig. 10 , CNAT coating has a total thickness of approximately 400 lm. The bond coat is Cr 3 C 2 -25NiCr with a thickness of about 100 lm, and the thickness of the Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 top coat is about 300 lm. SEM image of the • A is the rich region of Al element which is characteristic for the composition of the Al 2 O 3 compound. • B is the pores region with high oxygen element content.

• C and D regions have many Ti elements corresponding to TiO 2 in the coating and unmelted spray powder. • E is the region rich in Cr.

• F is the region rich in Al corresponding to the completely unmelted spray powder.

From the cross-sectional analysis of sprayed coatings (Fig. 11) , the porosity values of the AT, ATP, and ATPN samples represent 9.5±0.5%; 6.0±0.5%; 4.5±0.5%, respectively. Thus, the porosity of AT sample was the highest. In comparison with the ATP sample, the porosity value of the ATPN sample was significantly lower. The presence of aluminum oxide nanoparticles reduced the shrinkage of APP leading to an increase in sealing efficiency for the CNAT coating.

The slopes of the anodic (b a ) and cathodic (b c ) branches polarity curves are determined at a point on the polarization curve with a distance of not less than 50 mV from the corrosion potential for minimal error (Ref. 47) . Cathodic polarization often characterizes mass transitions when b c has a high value (Ref. 48) . Figure 12 showed potentiodynamic polarization curves of the coating samples. The corrosion potential (E corr ) values and the corrosion current density (I corr ) obtained from these curves by Tafel fitting using EClab software are listed in Table 3 . Electrochemical parameters E corr and I corr of the samples were determined according to the expression of Stern-Geary (Ref. 47):

where B is the Stern-Geary constant determined from the slopes of the anodic (b a ) and cathodic (b c ) branches, and R p is the polarization resistance determined from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). where I CA is the corrosion current density of the unsealed coating sample. Potentiodynamic polarization study indicated that the corrosion rate of ATP and ATPN samples was about 3-4 times lower than that of AT sample. The corrosion density of the ATP sample was 9.193 A/cm 2 , i.e., higher than that of the ATPN, which was 6.427 A/cm 2 . The sealing efficiency of sample ATPN is also better than that of ATP, 

Nyquist diagrams of the samples are shown in Fig. 13 . The Nyquist diagram of the coatings consisted of two incomplete semicircles, with the first small semicircle represents the resistance of the electrolyte and the big second one represents the impedance of the coating (Ref. 49) . The increase in the radius of the semicircle indicated the increase in impedance as well as the corrosion resistance of coatings in the neutral electrolyte. As can be observed in Fig. 13 , the radius of the second semicircle increases gradually in order of SS400\AT\ATP\ATPN sample.

Therefore, the sealed coating with APP containing nanoaluminum oxide ATPN gave the highest protection potential that confirmed the effectiveness of the nanoparticles in enhancing the corrosion resistance of the coatings. When the coating was immersed in APP containing nano-aluminum oxide for 5 hours, this sealant penetrated deep into the coating and sealed the pores and defects. The permeability of APP under different conditions will be clarified in other studies of our research team. The permeation process of APP containing aluminum oxide nanoparticles into the Cr 3 C 2 -NiCr/Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 duplex coating system may be described in Fig. 14 . As mentioned above, the nano-aluminum oxide contained in the APP has contributed to reducing the dryness and shrinkage of the APP after heat treatment due to the filling and occupancy of the Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles. The water content in the capillary of the APP containing Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle-sealed samples was less than that of the APPsealed samples. Therefore, APP containing nano-Al 2 O 3 has a better filling of pores and defects than APP and increases the corrosion protection of the coating. The Nyquist plots allow the determination of corrosion parameters such as the polarization resistance R p which characterizes the corrosion resistance of the coating through the magnitude of the semicircular arc at low frequencies (Ref. 49) .

It can be seen that the ATPN sample has the highest polarization resistance R p , while the R p of the AT sample has the lowest value. This indicates that the ATPN coating has better corrosion resistance than the AT and ATP coatings. A.V. Pinzón et al. reported that Bode plots give more information regarding the corrosion resistance of coatings than Nyquist plots because frequencies are more clearly represented (Ref. 41) . The impedance modulus |Z| measured at the lowest frequency (0.01 Hz) characterizes the polarization resistance R p of the coating (Ref. 41) . Figure 15 shows the EIS Bode plots for various types of coatings. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that at the low frequencies (0.1 Hz -0.01 Hz), the impedance modulus |Z| values of the ATPN sample were higher than that of both ATP and AT samples. These findings indicated that in the penetrated treatment of CNAT coating, the presence of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles in the APP significantly enhanced the corrosion protection for steel substrate. Figure 15b presents Bode plots of the relationship between frequency and phase which gives Table 4) .

To evaluate the permeability efficiency, we assessed the presence of element phosphorus (P) along with the coating thickness by EDS analysis. The cross-sectional images of the coating and the checkpoints for the presence of element phosphorus are shown in Fig.16 . P content distribution is shown in Tables 5 and 6 .

The obtained data showed that the P content in the ATPN sample is lower than that of the ATP. This can be explained by the occupancy of nano-Al 2 O 3 in the capillaries. However, the penetration depth in both samples was similar, about 300 lm. For comparison, a penetration depth of *70 lm was reported for the APP containing nano-Al 2 O 3 (100-150 nm) when sealing Al 2 O 3 -40TiO 2 / NiCr coating system in our previous works (Ref. 38, 39) .

The erosion-corrosion test of the coatings has been carried out using our customized erosion-corrosion test system ( Fig. 3 and 4 ). This customized unit was self-designed and manufactured in reference to other works (Ref. [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] .

Our previous research showed that APP after being heattreated according to the diagram described in Fig. 2 would form the phases such as Al(PO 3 ) 3 (Cubic) and Al 2 O 6 P 18 (Monoclinic) (Ref. 55) . These phases formed after penetration and heat treatment have contributed to the reduction of porosity and the increase in corrosion protection of the coating. Figure 17 presents the surface photos of the coating samples taken during the erosion-corrosion test. Data from the erosion-corrosion test indicated that after 72 Fig. 17 The surface appearance of the coating samples during the erosion-corrosion test hours of testing, red rust spots began to appear on the surface of the AT and ATP samples, while until 168 hours of testing, the rust phenomena have not occurred in the ATPN coating sample. These results also confirmed that the erosion-corrosion resistance of sealed Cr 3 C 2 -NiCr/ Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 coating with APP containing Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles was higher than that of the sealed coating with the APP without Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles.

Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was used to fabricate the Cr 3 C 2 -NiCr/Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 (CNAT) coating. After spraying, the coatings were sealed by APP with or without Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles (*10 nm). Our main findings are as follows:

• The porosity of the CNAT coating sealing with APPN is significantly lower than that of sealing with APP (without nano-Al 2 O 3 ). Sealing efficiency could be evaluated by the percentage of the treated open pores in the coating. The obtained results show that over 80% of the open pores in the coating were sealed/closed by APPN (containing nano-Al 2 O 3 ). Whereas, when sealing with APP (without nanoparticles), the sealing efficiency for the coating was only 60%. • When immersed in 3.5% NaCl solution, the corrosion rate of the coating sealed with APPN (containing nano-Al 2 O 3 ) was 4 and 1.5 times lower than the unsealed and sealed with APP (without nano-Al 2 O 3 ), respectively. • As compared to the CNAT sealed by APP (without nano-Al 2 O 3 ), the post-treatment with APPN (containing nano-Al 2 O 3 ) provided better workability in the erosion-corrosion environments.
