Pressure Assisted WC-15%wt Co Sintering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hardmetal is usually processed by the conventional powder technology techniques: mix of WC + Co powders compacted and liquid phase sintering. A new method to process hardmetal parts is hereby described. Parts of WC-15%wt Co were processed by using high pressure – high temperature sintering. It was used the pressure of 5GPa, temperatures of 780-1200-1350-1400oC, and times of 2-4 minutes of sintering. Results are shown as a function of micro-structural evolution, densification, and hardness measurements.
