Abstract

In this study influence of spray distance on the properties of WC-12Co coatings deposited by HVOF was investigated. WC-12Co coating was sprayed at spray distance of 300, 385 and 450 mm. From microstructure observation, it is confirmed that the porosity of coatings increases with increasing the spray distance. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the coatings consist of pure WC, W, and Co as well as W2C and Co6W6C phases. The increase of the spray distance accelerated the decarburization of coatings. From micro hardness tests, it was found that the hardness and the fracture toughness decreased with increasing spray distance. These mechanical properties would be related with not only porosity but also the degree of decarburization.
