Coated Steel Surfaces with WC by Lasers Action

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work low carbon steel samples were coated by tungsten carbide (WC), and then the properties of the obtained coatings were evaluated, such as morphology, hardness, phase composition and dimension of the layer. The results indicate the formation of a new phase, composed of iron carbide in the base metal, a more dense coating has been obtained when the WC powder was sprayed directly on to the steel and then irradiated with the laser beam.
