Summary 1. On 4340 steel, the HVOF WC/Co coating outperformed the EHC and HVOF T-400 coatings. 2. On 7075 aluminum, in general the EHC coating performed best. 3. On 7075 aluminum, two samples of a smaller dimension (3 x 4 inches) had protection ratings that were better than the EHC coatings on the 4 x 6 inch samples. 4. Some general corrosion of the WC/Co coatings was observed.
