Coatings deposited by the cold particle gas spray method have shown significant potential for enhancing the properties of metals. We investigated the wear characteristics and corrosion behavior of 52100 steel coated with a mixture of Ni/chromium carbide (Ni/CrC) particles. These coatings exhibited high density and were devoid of cracks, closely adhering to the substrate’s surface. Microscratch resistance testing revealed strong resilience, with the apparent friction coefficient exhibiting multiple peaks as the displacement varied. The determination of the friction coefficient, utilizing linear and rotational sliding tests, displayed a brief transition period. This occurred as the apparent contact area expanded until it reached an equilibrium state, with the large asperities being smoothed out and the remaining particles on the sliding track acting as an abrasive material, resulting in higher friction coefficient values. Electro-corrosion tests confirmed the near-intact condition of the deposited layer. Few compounds were detected in the electrolyte solution, resulting in significantly lower oxidation in the layer compared to the base material.
