  5. 3. Atomistic modeling of interfaces in WC-Co cemented carbides

    Author : Martin Petisme; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    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

  6. 4. Computational Insights into Atomic Scale Wear Processes in Cemented Carbides

    Author : Emil Edin; Rajeev Ahuja; Andreas Blomqvist; Jonas Östby; Wei Luo; Hannes Jónsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; WC; Cemented Carbides; Diffusion; Wear; Interfaces; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : As Ti-alloys become more and more utilized the need for efficient and robust manufacturing of Ti-alloy components increase in importance. Ti-alloys are more difficult to machine than e.g. steel, mainly due to their poor thermal conductivity leading to rapid tool wear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Carbide and MAX-Phase Engineering by Thin Film Synthesis

    Author : Jens-Petter Palmquist; Ulf Jansson; M. Jochen Schneider; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; Thin films; microstructure; epitaxy; carbide; WC; MAX-phase; Ti3SiC2; DC magnetron sputtering; PVD; Reciprocal Space Mapping; RSM; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis reports on the development of low-temperature processes for transition metal carbide and MAX-phase thin film growth. Magnetron sputtering and evaporation, far from thermodynamical equilibrium, have been utilised to engineer the properties of the films by physical and chemical control. READ MORE
