Two-layer nanocomposite WC/a-C coatings produced by a combination of pulsed arc evaporation and electro-spark deposition in vacuum

New cost-efficient technology combining pulsed arc evaporation (PAE) and electro-spark deposition (ESD) in vacuum was developed and implemented to coat Ti with two-layer WC/a-C coating in a single technological run using the same WC-6%Co electrode. A thick bottom ESD layer (70–90 μm) was composed of...
