Abstract
The manuscript presents a detailed study on WC-10Co-4Cr powder coatings applied via HP-HVOLF and subjected to laser ablation. FESEM analysis showed strong metallurgical bonding between the coating and SS410 substrate (≈75 MPa), crucial for durability. Despite the presence of cavities and pits, the coating's overall thickness remains consistent post-ablation, affirming stability. EDS mapping confirmed uniform elemental distribution, with well-bonded transition zones. Vickers hardness increased in laser-ablated samples (HV0.3 ≈ 1523) compared to unablated samples (HV0.3 ≈ 1344). Slurry and cavitation erosion analyses demonstrated superior resistance in laser-ablated samples due to higher microhardness and elevated static contact angles. Contact angle measurements indicated hydrophobicity in both un-textured and textured samples, with textured surfaces showing increased hydrophobicity.
