Purpose This paper aims to discuss that a WC/Co-Cr alloy coating was applied to the surface of H13 steel by laser cladding. Design/methodology/approach The oxidation behavior of the WC/Co-Cr alloy coating at 600°C was investigated by comparing it with the performance of the steel substrate to better understand the thermal stability of H13 steel. Findings The results showed that the WC/Co-Cr alloy coating exhibited better high-temperature oxidation resistance and thermal stability than did uncoated H13 steel. The coated H13 steel had a lower mass gain rate and higher microhardness than did the substrate after different oxidation times. Originality/value The WC/Co-Cr alloy coating was composed of e-Co, CW3, Co6W6C, Cr23C6 and Cr7C3; this mixture offered good thermal stability and better high-temperature oxidation resistance.

Electroless Ni-P coating containing ZrO2particles was successfully co-deposited on low carbon steel substrate. The surface and cross-sectional micrographs of the composite coatings were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the chemical composition of the coating was analyzed with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The oxidation resistance was evaluated by weight gains during high temperature oxidation test. The results showed that the embedded ZrO2particles with irregular shape uniformly distributed in the entire Ni-P matrix, and the coating showed a good adhesion to the substrate. The weight gain curves of Ni-P-ZrO2composite coatings and Ni-P coating at 923K oxidation experiments were in accordance with . The ZrO2particles in Ni-P matrix could significantly enhance the high temperature oxidation resistance of the carbon steel substrate as compared to pure Ni-P coating.

Cr coatings were deposited on AISI H13 steel substrates by means of electrospark deposition (ESD). The coatings were characterized in terms of their microstructure, hardness, friction and wear behavior and high-temperature oxidation resistance. Micro-indentation and tribometer testers were employed to measure the mechanical properties of Cr coatings and AISI H13 steel. The results showed that the hardness of the coatings ranged from 600 to 660 HV, with a higher value than that of AISI H13 steel (510 HV). The coefficient of steady-state friction of the coatings against 45-carbon-steel balls ranged from 0.23 to 0.27, with a lower value than that of AISI H13 steel (0.62-0.68). The isothermal oxidation behavior of the coatings at 850°Cwas studied in comparison with AISI H13 steel substrates. The results indicated that Cr coatings substantially increase the high-temperature oxidation resistance of AISI H13 steel and the oxidation process was retarded mainly by the presence of a Cr2O3 oxide scale on the coatings at 850°C for 100 hours.

CrTiAlN hard coatings have been deposited on H13 steel for improving the oxidation resistance by Closed Field Unbalanced Magnetron Sputter Ion Plating (CFUMSIP). The phase components, surface and section morphology of H13 steel before and after oxidation were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The results showed that the columnar crystal film possesses three major parts, i.e., the internal Cr bonding layer, the intermediate CrN transition layer, the external CrTiAlN gradient coating. The selective oxidation of Cr element was found on the surface of uncoated H13 steel while oxidation, but a continuous protective layer was not formed because of low Cr content, finally a lot of alpha Fe2O3 particles took place on the surface of H13 steel owing to the oxidation of the matrix element. O element can diffuse much more easily through the coating and oxide scales at 800 °C, and spallation and cracks were not found during the oxidation. These results indicated that the CrTiAlN coating have excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance at 800 °C.
