Crack Evolution and Computational Model Based Thermal Stress Evaluation of Laser Cladding Based on HVOF Sprayed WC/Co Deposits
A comprehensive experimental study on the high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) sprayed tungsten carbide/cobalt (WC/Co) deposits using laser cladding was conducted.A response surface methodology based on a central composite design was used to analyze, predict and optimize the WC/Co deposits of the laser-based HVOF sprayed coatings.The morphologies and m
