Effect of WC and Co on the Microstructure and Properties of TiC Steel-Bonded Carbide

Article Preview

Abstract:

TiC base high manganese steel-bonded carbide was manufactured with conventional powder metallurgy method to service in wear and impact resistant condition. WC was added in the alloy in the form of (W,Ti)C carbides to improve the impact toughness and expand the applications of alloy, meanwhile, cobalt powder was also used to enhance the wettability of the metallic binder on the ceramic phase. Results showed that the impact toughness of the alloy was increased remarkably with the increase of WC content. The impact toughness reached 10.6 J/cm2 when WC content was 10.5 wt.%, while the hardness of the alloy did not decrease. It was indicated that the appropriate content of WC and cobalt can improve impact toughness and wear resistance of the alloy greatly with little increase in the production cost.
