Microstructure and mechanical properties of WC Ni–Si based cemented carbides developed by powder metallurgy
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this paper the influence of the Ni binder metal and silicon as an additional alloying element on the microstructure and mechanical properties of WC-based cemented carbides processed by conventional powder metallurgy was studied. Microstructural examinations of specimens indicated the presence of a very low and even distributed porosity and the presence of islands of metal binder in the microstructure of the cemented carbides. Furthermore, despite the addition of silicon and carbon in the cemented carbides, it was not observed the presence of small fractions of undissolved SiC and free graphite nodules in their microstructure. Vickers hardness and Flexural strength tests indicated that the cemented carbide WC–Ni–Si with 10 wt.% of binder presented bulk hardness similar to the conventional WC–Co cemented carbides and superior flexure strength and fracture toughness.
