Abstract: Tungsten carbide (WC) has various applications due to its good mechanical properties, such as fracture toughness, fatigue, and creep resistance. Due to its exceptional hardness (20.4 GPa), ...

This process used high-speed spraying of a fuel/oxygen mixture infused with tungsten carbide to create a mirror finish 0.1 mm thick. At the time, it reduced pad wear by 30% and disc wear by 90%.
