- Abstract
- In this study, the high temperature oxidation behavior of HVOF-sprayed WC-12Co and WC-10Co-4Cr coatings were investigated. To explore the oxidation mechanism, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) was applied for isothermal treatments in the range of 500-800 degrees C for 3 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate the structural changes and microstructural evolutions during oxidation tests. The TGA experiments showed negligible oxidation mass gains at 500 degrees C for both coatings. At higher temperatures, i.e. 700 and 800 degrees C, the oxidation mass gains of WC-12Co were found to be much higher than those for WC-10Co-4Cr coating, respectively. The higher oxidation resistance of WC-10Co-4Cr coating probably results from the formation of compact chromium oxide layers and higher MWO4 type tungstate (M: Co and/or Cr) to tungsten trioxide (WO3) ratios which provide lower porosity and consequently more efficient passivation effect against oxidation. The time dependent mass gain of WC-12Co coating obeys the linear law within temperature range of 600-800 degrees C with apparent oxidation activation energy of similar to 104 kJ/mol. As for the oxidation of WC-10Co-4Cr coating, a negligible deviation from linear law was observed possibly due to the presence of chromium oxide and higher tungstate to tungsten trioxide ratio which hinders the diffusion process through the scales compared with WC-12Co coating. The apparent activation energy for oxidation of the WC-10Co-4Cr coating was found to be similar to 121 kJ/mol. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
