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 …

Cemented carbides have belonged to the most important engineering materials since their
invention in the 1920s. Commonly, they consist of hard WC grains embedded in a cobalt …

Cobalt is the standard binder in tungsten carbide (WC) hardmetals due to its compatibility
with the WC phase, resulting in composites with exceptional hardness and wear resistance …

Tungsten carbide (WC) based composites are highly wear resistant, exceptionally durable
and used in numerous cases as a variety of machining tools, punch and dies and drill bits …

Abstract Binder-jet 3D-printing, a non-beam-based additive manufacturing method, is a
process of selectively joining layers of powder using a polymeric binder. In this study, the …

Hardmetals on the basis of WC are the best and unique materials for applications
characterized by intensive wear and abrasion, high impact loads, thermal shocks, high …

The composite of 35CrMo high-strength steel matrix reinforced with TiC reinforcement (50
wt.%) has been produced by conventional powder metallurgy (PM). The sintering …

Joining cemented carbides and steels is particularly challenging due to the very dissimilar
thermal properties that lead to high residual stresses at the interface, where in addition …

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

In this study, a small-dimensional layered composites of WC-Co-Ni and stainless steel (SS
304) were obtained by self-made mold, in which the cermet was used in powder form and …
