Three different carbide layers were applied to a ferritic-pearlitic steel in order to characterize properties such as sliding friction coefficient, phase identification, adhesion to the substrate, porosity, layer thickness and wear mechanisms. An example of a real rotatory equipment after a working campaign, both with and without protective layer is presented. The capacity of the protective layer to extend the life of parts like the one analyzed is evident even if zones of the layer are detached during the campaign. © 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.enResource Types::text::journal::journal article
