Exposure effects of alkaline drilling fluid on the microscale abrasion-corrosion of WC-based hardmetals

The microscale abrasion-corrosion performance has been examined for two sintered hardmetals, WC-6Co and WC-11Ni, and two WC-10Co-4Cr sprayed coatings after exposure to a water-based alkaline drilling fluid for 168 h. A series of tests were also performed on freshly polished sintered hardmetals and c...
