The paper investigates wear resistance and corrosion resistance of protective coatings of D16 aluminum alloy under conditions that simulate operation of drill pipes. The paper also presents microstructure of coatings, electrochemical potential and corrosion rate of D16 aluminum alloy with various coatings. We evaluated adhesion and wear resistance of these coatings. D16 alloy with a tungsten carbide coating has the widest range of service properties and can be used to effectively protect the surface of aluminum drill pipes during operation operation.
