WC–Co cermets have been used traditionally as wear-resistant materials. Recent work has
shown that nanostructured cermets offer improved properties over their conventional …

In order to examine the effect of carbide grain size on the wear behavior of WC–Co coatings,
coatings with low degree of decomposition of WC were thermally sprayed by a high-velocity …

Nanostructured and conventional WC–Co coatings were deposited by vacuum plasma
spraying. The wear and friction properties of the two coatings against alumina under dry …

Aluminium matrix composites are one of the most important classes of materials and have
become a major focus of attention in aerospace, aeronautical, defense, and automotive …

The carbide size and cobalt content of thermally sprayed tungsten carbide/cobalt coatings
(WC-Co) can influence their microstructure, fracture strength, friction response and abrasion …

Thermally sprayed WC-Co is widely used as a wear-resistant coating for a variety of
applications. Although it is well established that thermal spray processes significantly affect …

Sintered WC-Co hardmetals are employed as wear resistant materials in a wide variety of
applications, some of which require resistance to abrasive wear. Such materials usually …

The influence of microstructure on room-temperature abrasive and erosive wear resistance
of selected WC-Co materials was examined. Cermets containing 6 and 12 w/o Co were …

Abstract WC-(nanoWC-Co) with micro-WC reinforcing particles in nanoWC-Co cermet matrix
was cold-sprayed by using WC-Co with bimodal sized WC particles (with both micro-sized …

Abrasive wear behaviour of materials can be assessed using a wide variety of testing
methods, and the relative performance of materials will tend to depend upon the testing …
