Inconel- 718 is a metallic coating which has good wear and erosion resistance. This is plasma sprayed on to Al6061 substrate and then subjected to slurry erosive wear tests. It is observed that the slurry wear rates of Al6061 decreased on coating the substrate material with Inconel- 718. Keywords : Plasma spray, Inconel- 718, Al6061, Erosion. 1. INTRODUCTION Out of many surface modification techniques, plasma spraying stands out as one of the most versatile and technologically sophisticated thermal spraying technique [10]. Plasma spraying is gaining extensive attention in the research fraternity as it has the advantage of applying coatings using different materials such as ceramic, metallic and composite coatings with possibility of controlling the thickness from few microns to few millimeters. Thus produced coatings improve hardness and hence reduce wear. Al6061 has found many applications in the field
