Machining cemented carbide coating on workpiece surface can effectively improve wear resistance of friction pair and reduce frictional coefficient and frictional wear. Through the research and development status of cemented carbide coating, the design of cemented carbide coating, processing method, wear mechanism, and bonding technology between cemented carbide coating and micro-/nano-texture are comprehensively described. Hardness, toughness, thickness, grain size, microstructure composition, etc. are important parameters affecting the wear resistance of cemented carbide coatings. The processing technology of cemented carbide coating has its advantages according to the working conditions of the workpiece. Among them, laser melting and plasma melting have good prospects for development. According to the working conditions of the workpiece, the wear mechanism of the hard alloy coating is different. The wear forms mainly include abrasive wear, adhesive wear, contact fatigue wear, and oxidation corrosion wear. The combination of cemented carbide coating and micro-/nano-texture technology can further improve the wear resistance of cemented carbide coating, which has good development prospects. Finally, the research prospect of wear resistance of cemented carbide coatings is put forward.
