WC-Co cemented carbide has been extensively used as a tool material for a long time. It is a very old but still widely used material because of high hardness, strength, and wear resisting properties. The present study deals with critical characterization of wear in WC-Co tip of the coal mining tools (radial picks). These picks were used for excavating coal from an underground mine. Mainly four different types of wear mechanisms have been characterized. The most probable causes behind each wear phenomenon have been explained comprehensively.
