Abstract
The corrosion behavior of WC-Co-Cr and WC-Co high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) sprayed coatings were examined in static saline conditions. Direct current (DC) polarization tests were conducted and the electrochemical corrosion behavior was shown, by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to be complex because of the composite ceramic-metal nature of the coating. The addition of chromium to the matrix greatly enhanced the corrosion resistance of the coating.
