EFFECT OF COARSE-TO-FINE WC GRAIN RATIO ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND ABRASIVE WEAR OF WC-8Co CEMENTED CARBIDES
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2016, Vol 265, Issue 1
Abstract
This study performs a comprehensive analysis concerning the amount of fine tungsten carbide (WC) grains needed for the appropriate reinforcement of the cobalt (Co) metallic binder in WC-8Co cemented carbides. The goal is to investigate the balance of coarse-to-fine grain distribution to achieve overall improvement of the material’s mechanical and wear properties. All samples possessed the same WC-8Co binder content, therefore, allowing the role of grain size distribution to be tested. It was found that a ratio of 8:1 wt% of coarse to ultrafine grain WC yielded an appropriate balance between material hardness, fracture toughness, and rupture strength. Upon adding grain growth inhibitors vanadium carbide (VC) and chromium carbide (Cr3C2), the overall wear resistance is further improved compared to undoped composites when samples are tested under abrasive wear conditions.<br/><br/>
