Raw materials supply and price, environmental safety as well as healthcare concerns have
directed efforts towards development of W-and Co-free ceramic-metal composites (cermets) …

Abstract Liquid Phase Sintering (LPS) is a versatile tool for producing powder metallurgy
components that entails the coexistence of a solid and a liquid phase during sintering …

Low wear resistance and the relative high Young's modulus reduce the lifetime of the current
biomedical Ti alloys for orthopaedic applications. In this study, two novel low-cost β-Ti alloys …

This review focuses on the potential advantages of iron aluminides as an alternative binder
for cemented carbides, by means of thermodynamics, microstructure, mechanical properties …

Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) is the designation given to composites constituted
by cBN hard particles within a ceramic/metallic matrix. These composites are normally …

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 recent years a new group of alloys has emerged breaking with the classical alloying
concepts of physical metallurgy, high entropy alloys (HEA). Their main characteristic is that …

Alternative hard materials to traditional WC-Co are one of the main goals in the investigation
efforts of both scientific and industrial communities. In this investigation, WC-based materials …

Ti (C, N)-based cermet is a kind of composite material composed of a metal binder phase
and a Ti (C, N)-hard phase, which is widely used in the fields of cutting machining and wear …

Fabrication of dense inorganic parts using FFF requires the processing of a thermoplastic-
based filament with a high content of inorganic particles, highly dispersed and an elevated …
