High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted a great deal of interest over the last 14 years. One
reason for this level of interest is related to these alloys breaking the alloying principles that …

The use of electric current to activate the consolidation and reaction-sintering of materials is
reviewed with special emphasis of the spark plasma sintering method. The method has …

This review article aims to provide an updated and comprehensive description of the
development of the Electric Current Activated/assisted Sintering technique (ECAS) for the …

Nanocrystalline WC–Co materials have been the subject of interests and focus of research
programs around the world for the past two decades owing to the expectations that the …

WC-Co alloys have enjoyed great practical significance owing to their excellent properties
during the past decades. Despite the advantages, however, recently there have been …

The WC-Co cemented carbides with 4 wt%~ 14 wt% Co content were fabricated by spark
plasma sintering. The effect of Co content on microstructure and mechanical properties of …

In this work more than 2500 published experimental data on hardness and indentation
fracture toughness of cemented carbides during the last 40 years have been collected. The …

Electricity is an efficient form of energy, and the growing interest in electricity-assisted
manufacturing is motivated by its inherent energy saving and reduced environmental impact …

Cemented carbide powders based on WC–12Co with a grain size of 40–250nm were
generated by high-energy ball milling. The powders with different extents of VC and (VC+ …

The hard WC-Co composites usually have weak toughness. The present work solved this
issue by a new strategy of fabricating nanocrystalline composites, which consists of …
