The optimal coating condition for chrominum carbide coating was selected by Taguchi method. The wear tests with coated specimens by HVOF method were performed in the temperature to 80$0^{\circ}C$. Applied normal loads were selected to be from 8N to 30N. The worn surfaces and subsurfaces were characterized by XRD, EPMA, AES and SEM. The wear track increased with increasing applied normal load, and in terms of the temperature range from 400 to $600^{\circ}C$, below that range, the wear track increased, and above that temperature ragne, the wear track decreased. The degree of oxidation caused by the test temperature and the frictional heating was responsible to the unique high temperature wear behavior chromium carbide coatings.
