Abstract

A study of phase formation on electrospark coatings with WC ― Co ― Cu electrodes on R6M5 high-speed steel during isothermal heat treatment at the operating temperature of the coating. Copper tungstate CuWO 4has been found to form, with its crystal lattice coherently bound to the basic carbide phase of the coating, tungsten monocarbide, through tungsten semicarbide as intermediary. The results complement the data on phase formation during the application of WC-based coatings and during their subsequent use with sliding friction.
