Abstract
Nanostructured WC-12Co coating was prepared by means of High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) spraying technology in this research. The erosion wear experiment system was developed to simulate the working condition to study the erosion wear properties. The corundum sand with main composition of Al2O3 and quartz sand with main composition of SiO2 were used to investigate the effects of sand variety on the erosion wear properties. The erosion wear failure mechanism of the coatings was also analyzed. The results show that the failure mechanism of the coating eroded by corundum sand is cracking between WC grains, while for the coating eroded by quartz sand, the failure mechanism is microcutting and microploughing.
