In this work more than 2500 published experimental data on hardness and indentation
fracture toughness of cemented carbides during the last 40 years have been collected. The …

The rapid coarsening of ultrafine and nanocrystalline WC powders during consolidation has
challenged the production of bulk nano-structured hardmetals for decades. In response, it …

Ultrafine/nano WC–Co cemented carbide is widely used because of its high hardness,
strength, toughness, and other comprehensive properties. However, WC grain growth during …

This work is focused on the preparation and properties of ultrafine WC-Co cemented
carbides. Samples were prepared by spark plasma sintering technology using WC and Co …

In the present study, the microstructural changes of WC hard phase, phase transition of
Cobalt (Co) in the binder and grain boundary characteristics were investigated to interpret …

Cermet is an advanced class of material consisting of a hard ceramic phase along with a
metallic binding phase with the combined advantages of both the ceramic and the metal …

Abstract New WC-Co-Ti 3 SiC 2 cemented carbides with different fractions of Ti 3 SiC 2 were
prepared and characterised in this study. The composites were processed by hot isostatic …

The WC-6Co cemented carbides were sintered using hot oscillating pressing (HOP) method.
The interplay of sintering parameters between microstructure and mechanical properties …

In this paper, the fracture toughness KIc of near-nano and nanostructured WC-Co cemented
carbides by Vickers indentation fracture toughness (VIF) was investigated. The aim was to …

Various contents of rhenium (Re) were successfully doped into WC-15Co hard alloys. After
that, some professional analytical instruments such as SEM, XRD, hardness tester, muffle …
