Cemented carbides cover a wide range of applications in many relevant industries, ie as
cutting tools (turning, milling, drilling) for machining of metal components in the automotive …

The rapid coarsening of ultrafine and nanocrystalline WC powders during consolidation has
challenged the production of bulk nano-structured hardmetals for decades. In response, it …

Hardmetals, commonly referred to as cemented tungsten carbide (WC) or simply tungsten
carbide, is one of the oldest liquid phase sintered, two phase composite, powder …

This work is focused on the preparation and properties of ultrafine WC-Co cemented
carbides. Samples were prepared by spark plasma sintering technology using WC and Co …

Hardmetals or cemented carbides are used in a wide range of applications due to their
excellent mechanical properties. WC-Co hardmetals with the same room temperature …

Tool wear and life of cutting tools are significant evaluation criteria of machining processes.
However, the occurring wear mechanisms are influenced by a number of factors such as the …

In this study, a novel hot oscillating pressing (HOP) was used to prepared WC-Co cemented
carbides under various oscillation frequencies. The effects of sintering frequencies on the …

Ultrafine and nanoscaled hardmetals show a significant grain growth already before
reaching liquid phase sintering temperature. To limit grain growth during this stage of …

We investigated the relationship between the V (C, N) content in nanocrystalline cemented
carbides and the thickness of the gradient layer, while also exploring the effects of V (C, N) …

WC-17Co cermets were prepared using three different processing routes. An as-ball milled
powder mixture (BMPM) and pre-solid solution treatment powder (PSTP) were used as …
