Abstract:
Spark plasma sintering (SPS), sinter-hot isostatic pressing (sinter-HIP) and vacuum sintering (VS) were carried out for densification of ultrafine WC-Co composite powder synthesized by in-situ reduction-carbonization reactions. The microstructures and properties of the WC-Co cemented carbides prepared by above different sintering processing were investigated and compared systematically. The effect of the sintering process on the phases and properties of the sintered alloys was investigated. The results show that the main phases of the cemented carbides are WC, Co and a little η (Co6W6C) phase coexisting in the SPSed, while WC and Co phases in the alloys prepared by sinter-HIP and VS. The present study also shows that those sintering processes can be used for preparing cemented tungsten carbides with fine WC grains, and the SPSed alloy has the finest grain size of 0.35 μm, the sinter-HIPed one provides excellent properties with HV30 of 15121 MPa, fracture toughness of 13.6 MPa·m1/2 and TRS of 4210 MPa.
