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. © 2003, by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co.
