Abstract |
|
Tungsten carbide- (WC-CO) based hardmetals or cemented carbides represent an important class of materials used in a wide range of industrial applications which primarily include cutting/drilling tools and wear resistant components. Tungsten carbide is applied to improve the wear resistance of moving parts in machines like rolls and balls, of bearings, and nozzles, cutting and drilling tools, and mining equipment. Tungsten carbide cemented with copper or silver is used for electrical contacts and in fuel cells. Since most cemented carbides contain tungsten carbide, which gives them their extreme hardness and their high specific gravity, these alloys are referred to as hard metals and are often also termed “tungsten carbide†This report reviews the status of research and development in conventional Cemented Tungsten Carbides. |
