Cemented tungsten carbide tool bits are widely used in cutting, oil and gas, tunneling, and
mining industries there these materials exposed to extremely harsh environments that cause …

The scraped and end-of-life tungsten carbide materials demand innovative recycling
methods to recover valuable refractory and strategic metals like tungsten, cobalt, nickel etc …

The corrosion behavior of functionally graded cemented carbide (FGCC), with CoNiCrFe
binder (WC-CoNiCrFe), has been investigated by performing electrochemical …

Traditional corrosion tests typically only focus on the conditions under which corrosion
occurs in hard-facing materials without considering the corrosion rate. However, corrosion …

Abstract Ni-Cr-Mo is a candidate to substitute Co binders in WC-based composites, where
high corrosion resistance is required. This work focused on the effect of Cr on the corrosion …

Two different grades, WC-20 vol.% Ni and WC-20 vol.% Co cemented carbides, respectively
were systematically investigated concerning their microstructure, binder composition, and …

Herein, a low cost, durable, and stable conductive superhydrophobic composite coating
(CSC coating) was fabricated on a Q345 steel surface by simple double-layer spray coating …

In this study, high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) sprayed nanostructured WC-10Co-4Cr
coatings were subjected to seawater with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) for different time …

Grinding is a finishing process for high precision, high surface quality parts, and hard
materials, including tool fabrication and sharpening. The recycling of grinding scraps, which …

The impact of heat treatment on the wear and corrosion behavior of WC-10Co4Cr coating
was investigated in this study. Firstly, the prepared samples were subjected to argon …
