Formation of wear-resistance coatings by off-vacuum electron-beam tungsten carbide surfacing and further heat treatment

Abstract

Hardened coatings of low wear resistance were obtained by surfacing tungsten carbide powder on low-carbon steel at accelerator ELV-6. To increase wear resistance the authors have carried out the experiments on thermal treatment influence on structure and features of the coatings surfaced with tungsten carbide.
