A study on the mechanical behaviour of WC/Co hardmetals

نویسنده

چکیده

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. The aim of present work is to study the mechanical behaviour of two hardmetals. The properties studied were Young’s modulus, bending strength, fracture toughness and fatigue endurance. The resonant technique was used to determine elastic properties and a good agreement was found with three-point bending results. 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Thermophysical properties of Co-free WC-FeCr hardmetals

Fe-Cr alloys can potentially replace carcinogenic Co as the binder system in WC-hardmetals. Furthermore, they may be used in emerging applications such as nuclear fusion reactor shielding, where use of Co is forbidden due to the formation of hazardous activated species. In such applications, a good understanding of thermophysical properties is critical to predicting high temperature performance...

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...

Effect of Carbide Particle Size on the Microstructure, Mechanical properties, and Wear Behavior of HVOF-sprayed WC-17% Co Coatings

This study investigates the effect of carbide particle size on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and abrasive wear resistance of WC-17%Co HVOF-sprayed coatings. The characteristics of WC-1, WC-2, and WC-3 coatings with carbide sizes of 1 µm, 0.9 µm, and 0.5 µm, respectively, were also investigated. WC-1 coating experienced the maximum carbon loss of 42%, while WC-2 and WC-3 coatings un...
