  • What Is Cemented Carbide? the History of Cemented Carbide
    THE DESIGNER’S GUIDE TO TUNGSTEN CARBIDE THE DESIGNER’S GUIDE TO TUNGSTEN CARBIDE Chapter I - Background What is cemented carbide? Tungsten carbide (WC), also referred to as cemented carbide, is a composite material manufac- tured by a process called powder metallurgy. Tungsten carbide powder, generally ranging in proportion between 70%-97% of the total weight, is mixed with a binder metal, usually cobalt or nickel, compacted in a die and then sintered in a furnace. The term “cemented” refers to the tungsten carbide particles being captured in the metallic binder material and “ cemented” together, forming a metallurgical bond between the tungsten carbide particles and the binder (WC - Co), in the sintering process. The cemented carbide industry commonly refers to this material as simply “carbide”, although the terms tungsten carbide and cemented carbide are used interchangeably. If the permanent deformation of a material at failure is quite small, the material is labeled brittle; if the plastic deformation is very large, the material is called ductile. Carbide is classified techni- cally as a “brittle” material since it exhibits little or no plastic deformation preceding the initiation of a crack and total failure. Without the presence of the metallic binder phase, tungsten carbide could be considered a ceramic material much the same as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide. The definition of a ceramic material is the marriage of a metal to a nonmetal, for example silicon (metal) carbide (carbon, nonmetal), aluminum (metal) oxide (oxygen, non-metal), or silicon ni- tride. A cermet is a composite material composed of ceramic (cer) and metallic (met) materials.

  • Effects of Vanadium Carbide on Sintered WC-10%Co Produced By
    Sains Malaysiana 44(8)(2015): 1175–1181 Effects of Vanadium Carbide on Sintered WC-10%Co Produced by Micro-powder Injection Molding (Kesan Vanadium Karbida ke atas WC-10%Co Bersinter dihasilkan melalui Pengacuan Suntikan Serbuk Mikro) WONG YEE NING, NORHAMIDI MUHAMAD, ABU BAKAR SULONG*, ABDOLALI FAYYAZ & MUHAMMAD RAFI RAZA ABSTRACT Ultrafine, cemented tungsten carbide (WC) possesses exceptional hardness, wear resistance and high strength in various applications. In this study, WC was produced through micro powder injection molding (μPIM), which is also applicable for metals and ceramics in producing complex parts with high-dimensional accuracy. Different inhibitors, such as VC, Cr2C3, NbC, or TaC, were added to improve the mechanical properties of WC and control its grain growth. The effects of a grain growth inhibitor were investigated by adding VC in WC–10%Co–nVC, where n = 0 to 1.2 wt. %. The mechanical properties of the sintered part, such as hardness and flexural strength, were determined. The morphology and elemental distribution of the samples were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction was employed to study the phases of the obtained samples. The results showed that the sample with 0.4 wt. % VC (optimal amount) sintered at 1410°C exhibited the highest theoretical density, hardness and flexural strength of 95.2%, 1973±31HV and 2586±172 MPa, respectively. The average grain size measured was 519±27 nm. VC acted as a grain growth inhibitor during sintering, thereby improving the mechanical properties. Keywords: Flexure strength; grain growth inhibitor; microstructure; micro powder injection moulding; XRD ABSTRAK Ultra halus, tungsten karbida terikat (WC) memiliki ciri kekerasan yang tinggi, rintangan haus dan kekuatan yang tinggi dalam pelbagai aplikasi.

  • Microstructure Investigations of WC-Co Cemented Carbide Containing ɳ-Phase and Cr
    ISSN: 1401-5773. UPTEC Q 18024 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2018 Microstructure investigations of WC-Co cemented carbide containing ɳ-phase and Cr Sofia Tran Mikrostruktur utredning av hårdmetall innehållande η-fas och Cr Sofia Tran Hårdmetaller består ofta av WC och Co. Hårdmetallen produceras genom att sintra pulver av de önskade elementen. I detta fall är elementen W, C och Co. Sintring är en process som sammanfogar fasta partiklar till större objekt. I en hårdmetall av WC och Co, brukar WC kallas för den hårda fasen och Co för bindefas, då Co smälter vid uppvärmningen och binder ihop de fasta WC-kornen som ett lim när de har stelnat. Den hårda fasen är generellt det som ger materialet dess hårdhet och bindefasen, dess slagseghet. För skärande bearbetning av material som stål, används skär av hårdmetall då de har en bra kombination av hårdhet och seghet. Ett exempel på en skärande bearbetningsmetod är fräsning, där man använder sig av roterande skär för att avverka material på arbetsmaterialet. Det är viktigt att skäret har en högre hårdhet än arbetsmaterialet för att skäret ska kunna avverka materialet. Skären måste även ha egenskaper som motstånd mot nötning och hög slagseghet samt hårdhet vid höga temperaturer. Detta är egenskaper som krävs för att skäret inte ska förlora sin prestanda under bearbetning samt att den ska ha en längre livslängd. För att nå upp till dessa krav på skären till fräsningen, måste segheten vara hög vilket fås genom att öka innehållet av bindefasen i sammansättningen. Men detta brukar ofta leda till en lägre hårdhet i en WC-Co hårdmetall.

  • Niobium in Tool Steels and Cemented Carbides
    NIOBIUM IN TOOL STEELS AND CEMENTED CARBIDES Franz Jeglitsch Institute for Physical Metallurgy and Materials Testing University of Leoben Franz-Josef-Strasse 18 8700 Leoben, Austria Abstract Niobium is an element of high affinity towards carbon and forms a very stable carbide. Therefore it is well suited as a carbide-forming alloying element in the production of tool steels and hard metal alloys. This paper first deals with the metallurgical fundamentals, such as the influence of niobium on the solidification behaviour of high speed steels, segregation of the MC-carbides during solidification, effect of the solidification rate on the precipitation of mono- carbides, solubility of niobium in austenite, effect on secondary hardness, M2C decomposition and methods for the achievement of higher niobium-contents in high-speed steels. In a second part selected examples of use are referred to in the categories of high speed steels, hot working tool steels, cold working tool steels and steels for plastic moulds. A short summary of niobium in cemented carbide completes the paper. Introduction Niobium is an element in group 5a of the periodic table and, as do the elements vanadium and tantalum of the same group and the elements of groups 4a and 6a, it forms, together with small atomic elements such as carbon, nitrogen, boron and silicon, very stable carbides, nitrides, borides and silicides, which are classified as hard metal alloys. The hard metal alloys (and also NbC) are mainly metallically bonded, have free electrons with overlapping valence - and conduction band and are suitable electrical and thermal conductors. Their high bond energy results in a high modulus of elasticity and a high melting point.

  • History of Development of Cemented Carbides and Cermet Pdf 1.5 MB
    FEATURED TOPIC History of Development of Cemented Carbides and Cermet Keiichi TSUDA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cemented carbide was first commercialized by our company in 1928 for use in wire drawing dies. It has since been developed as a base material for cutting tools. First, titanium carbide was added to make the tools suitable for steel cutting, and then the ACE layer technology was developed in order to toughen the cemented carbide substrate. Zirconium was added to cemented carbide substrates in response to user requests for efficient machining. Meanwhile, cermet, base material that consists of a hard titanium phase and was originally created for use in jet engines, was developed for cutting tools because of their low reactivity with steel and fine cutting surface. Although toughness was an issue with cermet, it was solved by nitrogen doping. The subsequently developed surface hardening technology further improved their toughness and wear resistance, and thereby cutting performance. This paper details the history of the development of Igetalloy cemented carbide and cermet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
