4. Conclusion
1. The difference in coating behaviors (ductile/ brittle) subjected to erosion was
mainly due to tribo-system and wear mechanism as a major factor. The
mechanical properties of materials showed a minor influence.
2. The difference in wear mechanisms between dry and slurry erosion was
mainly attributed to particle speed and size.
3. In the slurry erosion, the repetitive particle with water impacts results in
eroding the metallic matrix (Co) leading to pull off the WC hard grains.
4. In dry erosion, the cross-sections of coating (WC–Co) showed cracks
propagating parallel to the interface between the coating and the substrate
and they generally tend to propagate through the splats and subsequent
spallation of flakes by crack fatigue.
