Fabrication of Functionally Gradient Ultrafine-Grained WC-Co Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The carburizing heat treatments of ultrafine-grained WC-Co composites with sub-stoichiometric carbon content were carried out, and the microstructures of ultrafine-grained WC-Co carbides before and after treated were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the functionally gradient ultrafine-grained WC-Co hardmetals with a Co depleted surface and not comprising the η-phase can be fabricated by carburizing heat treatment. After heat treatment, WC grain sizes in materials are still at the ultrafine grade.
