The paper presents selected results of microstructural investigation of NiCr-Re with the addition of aluminium oxide coatings, deposited by means of HVOF thermal spray. The substrate made of 16Mo3 chromium molybdenum boiler steel was coated with a powder material of Oerlikon Amdry 4535 80% Ni, 20% Cr, 20÷45 μm, to which 1% of metallic rhenium and 10% of Al2O3 was dopped using the high energy milling method in a ball mill. The Rhenium and alumina are an addition in shape of inclusions that improves the heat resistance of alloys, creep, and high temperature oxidation resistance. Alloys with the addition of rhenium and alumina are widely used in the power industry. Metallographic microscopic examinations, microhardness tests and surface profilometry were carried out.
