The current study focused on deposition of protective clad of WC10Co4Cr on alloy steel (SS-316) through microwave technique. The layer was deposited in an industrial microwave oven functioned at 1.20 kW and 2.45 GHz. The XRD observation revealed the cluster of carbide phases in W-Cr-Fe based hexagonal matrix. The SEM surveillance showed a homogenous reinforced skeleton and dense microstructure with porosity measured less than 1%. The experiment results indicated that Tungsten (W) distributed uniformly in matrix and carbides results bulk hardness. The maximum hardness of the hard protective layer was observed to be 750HV. The erosive wear test performed at different impact angles indicates that the protective clad have significantly less erosive wear than the bare alloy steel (SS-316).
