Conventional and nanostructured WC–12%Co coatings were deposited on 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel substrate using air plasma spraying. The hardness of the coatings was measured, while their friction and wear behavior sliding against Si 3N 4 at room temperature and elevated temperatures up to 400 °C was...
