There are several semi-empirical models available in literature that correlate the intrinsic
hardness of cemented carbides' constitutive phases and certain microstructural parameters …

The room temperature deformation behavior of single crystals of WC has been investigated
as a function of crystal orientation and specimen size by micropillar compression tests …

In this study, WC/xCo/6-xAl 2 O 3 (x= 1, 2, 3 and 6 wt%) composites were fabricated through
spark plasma sintering. The electrochemical and mechanical properties of the composites …

Improving the wettability and bond strength of WC with Ni-based matrix and preventing the
growth of WC in the melt of Ni-based alloy are always the challenges that should be …

Creep deformation of WC-Co composites at high temperature and stress is accommodated
by either bulk WC phase creep deformation or by Co-infiltrated grain boundary sliding. It has …

Hot deformation of five microstructurally different sintered WC-Co cemented carbides during
hot compression testing was investigated in the temperature range of 700–1000° C and at …

The microstructure of WC-(Co+ Ru) cemented carbides was studied using transmission
Kikuchi diffraction (TKD). We report that the Co FCC grains contain Σ3-annealing twins …

Tungsten carbide cobalt hardmetals are commonly used as cutting tools subject to high
operation temperature and pressures, where the mechanical performance of the tungsten …

At elevated temperatures, the material behaviour of WC-Co hardmetals shows differences
under similar loading conditions depending on WC grain size and Co-content. Variations in …

x) WC–15 wt% Al 2 O 3–xTiC (x= 0, 1.5, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 wt%) composites were prepared
by vacuum hot-press sintering. The influence of TiC addition on the corrosion behaviour of …
