Grinding of WC-Co Hardmetal

New results on the relationship between hardness and fracture toughness of WC-Co hardmetal

Two sets of WC-Co grades were produced, with cobalt content ranging from 3 to 50 wt.%. The mean grain size of the two sets was 2.2 and 6 ~tm respectively. The two sets of grades were used to investigate the relationship between hardness and fracture toughness. It was found that at constant WC grain size the relationship is linear. It was also found that in the low toughness range, grades of equ...

Grinding effects on surface integrity and mechanical strength of WC-Co cemented carbides

In this study, the correlation existing among grinding, surface integrity, and flexural strength is investigated for WC-Co cemented carbides (hardmetals). A fine-grained WC-13 wt % Co grade and three different surface conditions: (1) ground, (2) mirror-like polished (reference), and (3) ground plus high-temperature annealed, are investigated. Surface integrity and mechanical characterization is...

بررسی رفتار سایشی کامپوزیت‌های WC-10wt%Co تجاری، WC-40vol%Co و WC-40vol%FeAl-B در دمای محیط

در این پژوهش رفتار سایشی کامپوزیت‌های تجاری WC-10wt%Co (H10F)، WC-40vol%Co و کامپوزیت‌های WC-40vol%FeAl-B با مقادیر مختلف بور از صفر تا ppm1000 به روش پین روی دیسک بررسی شد. آزمون‌های سایش در دمای محیط، تحت بار 40 نیوتن و طی مسافت 100 متر انجام شدند. سطوح سایش به وسیله میکروسکوپ الکترونی روبشی (SEM) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که در بین نمونه‌ها، کامپوزیت WC-40vol%FeAl بدون بور کمترین ...

Aqueous Processing of WC-Co Powders

Residual Stress in Ground WC-Co Coatings

High velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spray technique is one of the leading technologies that have been proposed as an alternative to the replacement of electrolytic hard chromium plating in a number of engineering applications. In this study, WC-Co powder was coated on AISI1045 steel using high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) method. The sinψ method was used to evaluate the through thickness residual stre...
