Tungsten carbide (WC) thrmal spray coatings applied by the high veloci
ty oxy-fuel (HVOF) process are considered the leading candidates for r
eplacement of hard chrome plating, This article describes the decision
-making process followed to establish the acceptability of WC thermal
spray coatings for aircraft landing gear applications. Descriptions of
both the laboratory testing phase and the inservice evaluation phase
are given.
