X-RAY DIFFRACTION
Residual Stress
Summery
Less than 200 micron coating thickness
reduce the corrosion and wear.(Coat
Effective)
 Compressive stresses of 500 MPa was
generated by XPOJET system
In abrasion test also WC-Co-Cr wear
indexing was 0.2
After 100 hours landing coating was
found with same thickness.
