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

چکیده
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 equal toughness have higher hardness if their grain size is finer and vice versa for grades of high toughness.

متن کاملA study on the mechanical behaviour of WC/Co hardmetals
The hardmetal cutting tools used in machining are submitted to extreme conditions in terms of temperature and mechanical loading. A better understanding of the failure of cutting tools and capability to predict tool life are key factors in the development of new tool materials with improved mechanical behaviour. Main failure mechanisms are wear, thermal–mechanical fatigue and brittle fracture. ...
متن کاملThe Hardness and Strength Properties of WC-Co Composites
The industrially-important WC-Co composite materials provide a useful, albeit complicated materials system for understanding the combined influences on hardness and strength properties of the constituent WC particle strengths, the particle sizes, their contiguities, and of Co binder hardness and mean free paths, and in total, the volume fraction of constituents. A connection is made here betwee...
