In this study, effect of feedstock particle size and nozzle configuration on deposition, microstructural features, hardness and sliding wear behaviour of high velocity air fuel (HVAF)-sprayed WC-CoCr coatings was evaluated. Three different WC-CoCr powders with nominal particle sizes of 5/20 μm (fine), 5/30 μm (medium) and 15/45 μm (coarse) were sprayed employing a HVAF gun with four distinct DeLaval nozzle configurations involving different lengths and/or exit diameters. Microstructure, phase constitution and mechanical characteristics of the coatings were evaluated using SEM, EDS, XRD and micro indentation testing. Specific wear rate for all the samples was determined under sliding conditions and a comprehensive post wear analysis was conducted. X-ray diffraction analysis showed negligible decarburization in all the HVAF-sprayed coatings. It was shown that decrease in particle size of employed feedstock results in discernible changes in microstructural features of the coatings as well as considerable improvement in their performance. Also, notable changes in wear mechanisms were identified on reducing particle size from coarse to medium or fine. Fine and coarse feedstock powders were found to be sensitive to the type of nozzle used while no major difference was observed in coatings from powders with medium cut size sprayed with different nozzles.
