Hard chrome plating is used to restore the original dimensions to worn surfaces of gas turbine shafts. However, its use is about to decrease due to some intrinsic limitations of its deposits and the toxic and carcinogenic characteristics of the hexavalent chromium. During the last decade high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal sprayed cermet coatings play an important role in industrial applications where exceptional friction and wear resistance are required. The purpose of this study is to investigate and to compare the microstructure, wear resistance and potentials of HVOF sprayed Cr3C2-NiCr and WC-Co coatings for a possible replacement of hard chromium plating in gas turbine components repair. It has been shown that coatings exhibit high hardness with a high volume fraction of carbides being preserved during the spraying, and have different wear behaviour. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
