40vo1% WC/Fe (AI) solid solution composite powder was prepared by mechanical alloying of WC/Fe/A1 mixture powder and WC/ FeAl intermetallic compound based cermet coating was successfully fabricated by cold spraying of ball milled composite powder and assisted by post spraying annealing treatment. Effect of ball milling time on the phase structure, grain size and microstructure of composite powder were investigated. The microstructure characteristics and microhardness of cold sprayed WC/FeAI cermet coating were analyzed. The results show that the WC/Fe(A1) solid solution composite powder uniformly distributed with micro and nano meter scale WC hard phase particles can be prepared by mechanical alloying. The mean grain size of matrix phase in the composite powder is about 90 nm after 36 h ball milling. A dense WC/FeAI cermet coating uniformly distributed with multi-scale WC panicles has been obtained by cold spraying and its microhardness is about 1060 HV0.3. The in-situ phase transformation from Fe(AI) solid solution to FeA1 intermetallic compound occures in coating after annealing at 650 ~C. Therefore, A WC/FeA1 intermetallic compound based cermet coating is successfully prepared.
