Liquid phase migration in cemented carbides – Experiments and modelling
Source abstract
Abstract
Liquid phase migration (LPM) and its potential impact on the phenomenon known as cobalt capping in cemented carbides have been investigated through experiments on fully densified, pre-sintered samples and simulations. A model for LPM was developed based on interface energies, grain size, and contiguity, and was implemented and integrated with Thermo-Calc software to make predictions about the final microstructure. The model`s predictions, when applied to cases with gradients in grain size and volume fraction of the binder phase, were found to somewhat match experimental observations. Additionally, it was obsereved that LPM can cause a phenomenon resembling cobalt capping due to gradients in carbon activity.
