The major hurdle that limits extensive application of thermal sprayed WC–Co coatings is the undesirable phase changes from WC to W2C or even W due to loss of carbon. This study investigated quantitatively the decarburization of WC in both in-flight and coating formation stages during atmospheric pla...
