It does seem like (LP) CVD would be the best option for such a thick
layer of tungsten carbide, though it makes me wonder about the
stresses. There's also an ALD process for WC, and I'm pretty sure
someone in Finland would be able to do it (the home of ALD and all),
but 5 um is really on the thick side for ALD.

In any case, I for one will be keeping an eye on this discussion, as I
could definitely use WC myself for a project or two.
