  1. 11. Computational investigation of interface structure and composition in cemented carbides at finite temperatures

    Author : Erik Fransson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Molecular dynamics; Hard Metals; Interfacial free energies; Monte Carlo; Cemented carbides; Force constants; Cluster expansion;

    Abstract : WC-Co cemented carbides combine superb hardness with high toughness making them ideal for usage in high-speed machining of steels and in wear resistance tools. These excellent mechanical properties are to a large extent dependent on the microstructure and thus the interfacial properties of the material. READ MORE

  2. 12. WC grain growth during sintering of cemented carbides : Experiments and simulations

    Author : Karin Mannesson; John Ågren; Annika Borgenstam; Håkan Engqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cemented carbide; Grain growth; Abnormal grain growth; Image analysis; Modeling; 3-D grain size distribution; Inverse Saltykov; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Cemented carbides are composite materials consisting of a hard carbide and a ductile binder. They are powdermetallurgically manufactured, where liquid-phase sintering is one of the main steps. The most common cemented carbide consists of WC and Co and it is widely used for cutting tools.

  3. 13. ICME guided development of cemented carbides with alternative binder systems

    Author : Martin Walbrühl; John Ågren; Annika Borgenstam; Henrik Larsson; Claudio Miguel Lousada Patricio; Jan Qvick; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cemented carbide; ICME; Materials Design; alternative binder; hardness; AIMD; liquid diffusion; frozen-in solubilities; DICTRA; surface gradients; labyrinth factor; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The development of alternative binder systems for tungsten carbide (WC) based cemented carbides has again become of relevance due to possible changes in EU regulations regarding the use of Cobalt (Co). A framework for the ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) based Materials Design is presented to accelerate the development of alternative binder systems. READ MORE

  4. 14. Evolution of WC-Co cemented carbide microstructure during creep testing

    Author : Mohamed Amine Yousfi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; plastic deformation; cemented carbides; linear intercept; transmission electron microscopy.; electron backscattered diffraction; Atom probe tomography;

    Abstract : The aim of this work is to understand the mechanisms behind the plastic deformation of WC-­Co based cemented carbides. The microstructures of two materials have been investigated before and after creep deformation using quantitative microscopy, atom probe tomography, and transmission electron microscopy. READ MORE

  5. 15. Microstructural aspects on wear of cemented carbides

    Author : Håkan Engqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : Cemented carbides are known to be very wear resistant and are therefore often usedin applications involving surface damage and wear. The work presented hereinvestigates the coupling between the microstructure and some fundamental wearand deformation mechanisms typical for cemented carbides. READ MORE
