Atomic Force Microscopy Study on WC 14Co and WC 14Co+CNT Coated Surfaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

There are several methods to improve surface characteristics. Detonation Gun coating (D-Spray) is one of the popular method in thermal spray coating technique. Generally, to enhance the surface properties like wear and corrosion resistance, microhardness, surface finish etc.. D-Spray process was preferred. In this present study, the property of surface finish was considered for the coating powders of WC 14Co and WC 14Co+CNT. The Powder WC 14Co+CNT was prepared in a systematic way and coating process was carried out by using detonation gun coating technique. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) had been done on the powders of with and without CNT and Atomic force Microscopy (AFM) analysis on the surface was done for various places on the surface. A significant effect on the surface finish was exhibited.
