In this paper, three groups of spherical WC-reinforced Ni-based coatings were fabricated by
laser cladding on EH40 steel. The microstructure, microhardness and wear mechanism of Ni …

In this work, industrially relevant WC composites with alternative binders (Ni, CoNi, NiCr,
CoCr, CoNiCr and NiCrMo) were produced and their corrosion resistance in 0.5 M NaCl was …

The present study has developed new insights into the wear transition mode of cermets and
provides a better understanding of the role of abrasive characteristics in three-body abrasive …

WC-based composites are extremely resistant to wear and corrosion; they are used in
numerous mechanical applications (eg, pumps, valves, mechanical seals, flow control …

This study focused on chromium addition (0 wt%, 3 wt%, 6 wt%, 9 wt% and 12 wt%) on the
boride layer formation, microhardness, fracture toughness and elevated temperature friction …

The friction and wear behavior of WC based cemented carbides ring-ring samples in
different water environments were systematically tested. The average grain size of WC is 1.2 …

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 …

The oxidation-wear properties of WC-Co cermet at high temperatures were remarkably
enhanced by Ru addition for increasing life expectancy of cermet tools in high-speed cutting …

The present investigation addresses the mechanical properties, wear behaviour, and high-
temperature oxidation of cermets and hardmetals based on either Ti (C, N) or WC and a …

In this study, binderless WC ceramics with grain size of 210 nm were obtained under a high-
pressure of 200 MPa at a relatively low temperature of 1550° C. The effects of high pressure …
