  4. 2. Atomistic modeling of interfaces in WC-Co cemented carbides

    Author : Martin Petisme; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; analytic bond order potentials; weing; WC-Co; grain boundary sliding; grain boundaries; density functional theory; molecular dynamics; interfaces; cemented carbides;

    Abstract : Grain and phase boundaries are crucial in understanding the properties of real materials. In this thesis, interfaces in WC–Co cemented carbide are modeled atomistically using density functional theory (DFT) and analytic interatomic potentials. READ MORE

    Abstract : Cleavage fracture in ferritic steels can be defined as a sequence of few critical steps. At first nucleation of a microcrack takes place, often in a hard inclusion. This microcrack then propagates into the surrounding matrix material. The last obstacle before failure is the encounter of grain boundaries. READ MORE
