Fatigue life of HVOF Tungsten carbide coated Aluminum and hard anodized Aluminum in cyclic bending and the influence of coating residual stresses

摘要

Chrome plating and hard anodizing are currently used in the aircraft industry to reduce wear and increase corrosion resistance. However, environmental concerns associated with chrome plating and hard anodizing, as well as inadequate corrosion and wear performance in certain environments have generated an interest in the aircraft industry in evaluating potential alternatives to chrome plating and hard anodizing [1].
