The structure of the coating and microstructure of the substrate-coating interface have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We observed the worn surface of the coating and investigated the wear mechanism. The results show that the microstructure of the interface between HVOF sprayed coating and substrate which consists of the amorphous layers, nanocrystalls in the coating and dislocation cells in copper substrate, etc. is complex. The amorphous layers are formed from heated adhesion after rapidly cooling, while the nanocrystalls come from the fragmentation of half-molten carbides. At the same time we found that the wear-resistant properties of the WC-Co coating is better than that of Cr3C2-NiCr coating at room temperature. The early wear-resistance of the HVOF sprayed coating is poor because of the roughness of its surface or bad bond of hard composite particles. The high velocity of molten droplets is propitious to fill up the interspaces between carbides, so as to make the coating more compact and reduce its porosities, thus the wear-resistance of carbides coatings is improved.展开更多
