Abstract

Nanostructure WC composite coatings were prepared on surface of Q235 steel by argon arc cladding injection using microstructure WC feeding which were prepared by nanostructure WC powder. The microstructure of the coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phase of the coating were analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometer and X-Ray diffract meter, moreover, microhardness and wear resistance were texted by Microhardness tester (HVST-1000) and friction wear testing machine (MMS-2A). The results show that the combination of coating and substrate is metallurgical bonding. and no Pores and cracks were founded in bonding area. aggregated nanostructure WC particles and nanostructure WC particles uniformly distributed in the coating. The maximum hardness of the coating is 1461 HV. Compared with the Q235 steel, the wear resistance of the coating increased about 15 times.
