Plasma Spraying and Characterization of Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt Coatings by the Water-Stabilized System WSP

<table>Temperature evolution at spraying of WC-8Co. P: preheating; S: spraying; C: cooling (by compressed Ar); FC: “fine” cooling (by compressed Ar with reduced flow rate). The signal was collected from a thermocouple screwed on the substrate backside.</table>
