The objective of this research is to compare the influence of the tungsten carbide-17cobalt (WC- 17Co) coating applied by high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) process with that of hard-chromium electroplating on the fatigue strength and abrasive wear of AISI 4340 steel.75-96engWC-17Co thermal spray coatinghard chromium electroplatingabrasive wearfatigueHVOFArtigoWOS:000181711800004Acesso restrito3511534795805776
