Purpose The purpose of this study is to prepare WC-10Co-4Cr coatings using two processes of plasma spraying and high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying. The decarburization behaviors of the different processes are analyzed individually. The microstructural characteristics of the as-sprayed coatings are presented and the wear mechanisms of the different WC–10Co–4Cr coatings are discussed in detail. Design/methodology/approach The WC–10Co–4Cr coatings were formed on the surface of Q235 steel by plasma and HVOF spraying. Findings Plasma spraying causes more decarburizing decomposition of the WC phase than HVOF spraying. In the plasma spraying process, η(Cr25Co25W8C2) phase appears and the C content decreases from the top surface of the coating to the substrate. Practical implications In this study, two WC–10Co–4Cr coatings on Q235 steel prepared by plasma and HVOF spraying were compared with respect to the sliding wear behavior. Originality/value The wear mechanisms of the plasma- and HVOF-sprayed coatings were abrasive and oxidation, respectively.

Environmental protection and worker safety measures against the extensively used hard chrome plating (EHC) is becoming more stringent, which leads to the development and application of alternative technology. As one of the most promising replacement technology of EHC, WC/Co coatings deposited by High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) have well performances in corrosion and wear resistance. The paper analyzed technical characteristics, property and cost of EHC and HVOF deposited WC-Co coatings, while results show that performance of HVOF sprayed WC-Co coatings is superior or equal to EHC with much higher expense, so current replacement of EHC by HVOF centers airplane and military arm field which have relatively higher profit.

ABSTRACTA unique process for producing powder whose individual particles contain both chromium carbide and nickel/chromium is discussed. This process involves agglomeration of fine chromium carbide with nickel/ chromium-bearing materials using a proprietary binder system. The agglomerates are subsequently sintered, melted in a plasma flame, and sized. This powder does not exhibit the segregation and inhomogeneity problems associated with conventional mechanical blends of chromium carbide and Nichrome powders. Jet Kote* coatings created from the prealloyed powders have uniform microstructures, high hardnesses, and wear characteristics superior to those of plasma-sprayed coatings from the conventional blends.

The current study is focused on WC-Ni cermet coatings, materials that are extensively used in applications requiring wear resistance. In this work, WC-10%Ni powder was thermally sprayed onto mild steel using High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) spray technique. The nanostructured specimen was produced from sprayed samples by heat-treating at 1100°C in a vacuum chamber. Their structures were studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests were performed on both types of coated samples in 3.5% NaCl solution. The amorphous phase in WC-10%Ni coating was transformed to crystalline phases by heat treatment at high temperatures. Heat treatment of these coatings at high temperature also resulted in partially dissolution of WC particles and formation of new crystalline phases. Generation of these phases produced the nanostructured coating with better mechanical properties. Comparative electro chemical test results showed that, the heat treatment could improve corrosion resistance of the nanostructured WC-10%Ni coating than the as sprayed coatings.
