Abstract
MCrAlY/TaC metal matrix composite coatings with 10, 20 and 30 wt.% TaC have been successfully produced by electrospark deposition (ESD). The effects of TaC content on microstructure, hardness and oxidation behavior of the composite coatings were studied. The results showed that the composite coatings were composed of superfine γ columnar dendrite and large TaC particles dispersedly distributed. The hardness was enhanced but oxidation resistance of the composite coatings was reduced with increasing TaC contents.
