The Effect of Impinging WC-12Co Particles Temperature on Thickness of HVOF Thermally Sprayed Coatings

In this paper, the effect of WC-12Co particle
temperature in HVOF thermal spraying process on the coating
thickness has been studied. The statistical results show that the spray
distance and oxygen-to-fuel ratio are effective factors on particle
characterization and thickness of HVOF thermal spraying coatings.
Spray Watch diagnostic system, scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), X-ray diffraction and thickness measuring system were used
for this purpose.
