Abstract
AbstractWC-Co coatings sprayed by HVOF attracted much attentions, benefiting from the satisfactory wear resistance and high bonding strength to the steel substrates. Nevertheless, high density of conventional coatings required excessive Co binder, which decreased the hardness and operation life. Based on this, a strengthened WC-30WB-10Co coating was developed with both high density and improved hardness, using high-qualified thermal sprayed composite powders. Comparison between the phase composition, microstructure, interfacial bonding strength and properties of the newly developed coatings and WC-12Co conventional coatings was clarified in detail. Compared to WC-12Co powders, spherical WC-30WB-10Co powders showed higher apparent density and flowability, due to the in situ formed CoWB and CoW2B2 phases during the accelerated metallurgy reaction. Oxidation and decarburization were confirmed during HVOF spraying with the formation of W2C, Co3W3C and Co6W6C phases in both coatings. Attracting WC-30WB-10Co coating with microhardness of 1639HV0.3 and relative density of 99.44% was achieved, higher than those of 1222 HV0.3 and 99.27% of WC-12Co. This was attributed to the formation of the ternary compounds and the consumption of the ductile Co binder in the WC-30WB-10Co coatings. The hard alloy coatings are expected to be well applied in aggressive wear and corrosion environments due to the high hardness and low metal phase content.
