Recent studies of HVOF-sprayed WC–(W, Cr) 2 C–Ni coatings indicated an applicability at
temperatures above 600° C. Therefore, in the present paper the dry sliding wear behaviour …

This paper reviews the available literature relating to the emerging research into the
performance of coatings under combined wear and corrosion conditions. Understanding …

Cr3C2–NiCr and WC–Ni coatings are widely used for wear applications at high and room
temperature, respectively. Due to the high corrosion resistance of NiCr binder, Cr3C2–NiCr …

Gray cast iron (GCI) is a popular automotive brake disc material by virtue of its high melting
point as well as excellent heat storage and dam** capability. GCI is also attractive …

Cavitation erosion is a frequently observed phenomenon in underwater engineering
materials and is the primary reason for component failure. The damage due to cavitation …

Coatings have been widely used in the corrosion protection of metallic materials in marine
environments. In this work, the corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of three potential …
