Two　Fe-FeB-WC　coatings　were　deposited　on　the　Q235　steel　substrate　by　arc　spraying.　The　microstructure　and　the　abrasive　wear　performance　of　the　coatings　were　characterized　by　x-ray　diffraction　(XRD)　and　scanning　electron　microscope　(SEM).　The　wear　mechanisms　of　the　coatings　were　examined.　It　was　found　that　Fe-Cr　alloy　and　Fe2B　are　present　in　the　coating　as　the　main　phases.　The　results　showed　that　adding　hard　particle　powders　could　obviously　increase　the　hardness　and　wear　resistance　of　the　coatings.　The　average　microhardness　of　the　coatings　was　about　870　to　920　HV0.1.　The　coatings　exhibited　excellent　abrasive　wear　resistance,　being　3.3　to　4.8　times　higher　than　that　of　arc　sprayed　3Cr13　coating.
