Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Chromium Powder

Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Chromium Powder (WC-Co-Cr) Discription

Tungsten carbide cermets with cobalt and chromium additions (WC-Co-Cr) are widely used for wear- and corrosion-resistant applications in different industrial sectors including aeronautic, mining and automotive. For instance, these materials have been proposed for the replacement of electrolytic hard chromium commonly used in aircraft shafts and landing gears due to their high hardness, and superior friction and abrasion resistance.

Thermal sprayed coatings of tungsten carbide materials in a cobalt matrix offer the best wear protection. For a service that requires better corrosion resistance, a matrix of nickel, cobalt-chromium, or cobalt-chromium-nickel is a good choice. Materials with a higher percentage of matrix produce coatings with better ductility, resulting in improved impact and fretting resistance. Conversely, a lower percentage of matrix offers greater hardness, resulting in better abrasion and wear resistance.
