Abstract
The three kinds of WC-12Co coatings were sprayed by High Velocity Oxygen/Air Fuel Spray (HVO/AF) in three different spray conditions, HVOF、HVO-AF and HVAF. The high velocity flame flow was produced by HVO/AF with the burning of kerosene and propellant which was mixed by oxygen and air at different ratio, it can be controlled from 1400°C to 2800°C.The microstructure was investigated by SEM, the phase composition was tested by XRD, and the microhardness and elastic modulus of coatings were investigated. The results indicate that the coatings with better adhesive strength and little porosity than conventional ones are dense and have a large value of elasticity and a high microhardness which is 0.4 times harder than the conventional coatings. The coatings are mainly composed of WC and Co, and there are also traces of W2C and Co6W6C. As temperature decreased, the decomposition of WC is being reduced.
