Properties of P30 cemented carbide containing nitrogen.

Development of Creep-Resistant Tungsten Carbide Copper Cemented Carbide

Fine-grained tungsten carbide copper (WC-Cu) cemented carbide was sintered via spark plasma sintering at 1773K using a fine WC powder with a mean particle size of 0.11 mm. The mechanical properties were compared with tungsten carbide cobalt (WC-Co) cemented carbide and a binderless WC-sintered material. The Vickers hardness and fracture toughness obtained by the indentation fracture method for ...

Development of Cemented Carbide Tool of Reduced Rare Metal Usage

Cemented carbides, including coated cemented carbides, account for 75% of the cutting tools market because of their features such as high hardness, toughness, and the responsiveness to iron, through the use of tungsten carbide for their main hard phases and cobalt for their bonding metals. The consumption of tungsten continues to increase as the amount of carbide tool production increases with ...

Shock-wave strength properties of boron carbide and silicon carbide

Effect of SiC Nanowhisker on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of WC-Ni Cemented Carbide Prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering

Ultrafine tungsten carbide-nickel (WC-Ni) cemented carbides with varied fractions of silicon carbide (SiC) nanowhisker (0-3.75 wt.%) were fabricated by spark plasma sintering at 1350°C under a uniaxial pressure of 50 MPa with the assistance of vanadium carbide (VC) and tantalum carbide (TaC) as WC grain growth inhibitors. The effects of SiC nanowhisker on the microstructure and mechanical prope...

An Attempt to Analyze the Influence of Properties of Five African Wood Species on Cemented Carbide Tool Wearing

The dulling of cemented carbide cutting tools after milling five African wood species was studied. The wood specimens investigated varied in high temperature corrosivity (HTC), hard mineral contamination (HMC), and density (D). Attempts to replace the combustion method of evaluating the content of natural HMC in wood with spectral mass analysis methods, such as energy dissipative spectrum (EDAX...
