The effect of carbon content on the shape of WC grains dispersed in the Co-rich matrix during liquid phase sintering of WC-35%Co hard metals has been determined. The shape of WC grains was observed using SEM stereography after removing cobalt matrix with boiling hydrochloric acid solution. The WC grains changed from hexagonal to trigonal prism as the carbon content increased in the two-phase region of(WC + $\beta$ - Co), while the morphology of WC grains changed from trigonal to hexagonal shape as the carbon content decreased. The morphology of WC grains changes reversibly along with carbon loss or carbon pick-up. Morphology change of WC grains is attributed to crystal structure of WC, which has an asymmetric array of carbon atoms. There are two types of prismatic planes having different numbers of broken W-C bonds in WC grains. It is scrutinized that as the carbon content increases, the high energy prism planes grow fast and the crystals change from hexagonal to trigonal shape. On the other hand, when the carbon content decreases, the high energy prism planes are dissolved accompanying split of (100) plane into (101) and (101) planes.

In this study, the effect of WC and group IV elements on the cutting performance in turning is investigated. The composition of WC was changed from 5 to 20% to determine the effect of WC on the cutting performance of cermet tool. The more WC was added, the longer the tool life of the cermet tool was. The cermet with 20% WC showed the best fracture toughness. The cermet tool with 20% WC showed the best cutting performance among the various WC composition. The effect of group IV elements ; ZrC, ZrN and HfC was also investigated by adding each of them to manufacture the cermet tool with fixed 14% WC composition. The cermet with 1% group IV HfC and 14% WC showed the best cutting performance among the investigated cermet tools.

The degree of WC decomposition and hardness of thermally sprayed WC-Co coatings are important factors determining the wear resistance of the coatings. In order to minimize the degree of decomposition and to increase hardness, the effects of processing parameters of high velocity oxyfuel(HVOF) spraying on various characteristics of nanostructured WC-12Co coating have been evaluated by an experimental design method. The HVOF sprayed WC-12Co coatings consisted of various carbide phases including WC, $W_2C$ and $W_3Co_3C$, with a much reduced carbon content. The degree of WC decomposition and decarburization was affected by changing barrel length and spray distance. The hardness of WC-Co coatings was strongly related to droplet temperature at substrate, and increased with increasing fuel addition and/or decreasing spray distance. The effective control of processing parameters was discussed in detail for manufacturing a high performance WC-Co coating.

WC/WC interface in VC mono-doped WC-10mass%Co submicro-grained hardmetals of $0.5\;{\mu}m$ was investigated together with WC/Co interface by using HRTEM and XMA. The thickness of V-rich layer and the analytical value of V at WC/WC interface were almost the same as those at WC/Co interfaces. These results, etc., suggested that the V-rich layers at both interfaces were not generated by an equilibrium segregation mechanism in the sintering stage, but generated by a preferential precipitation mechanism during the solidification of Co liquid phase in the cooling stage. Based on this suggestion, we succeeded in developing a nano-grained hardmetal with 100 nm $(0.1\;{\mu}m)$.

Tungsten carbide (WC) hard materials are used in various industries and possess a superior hardness compared to other hard materials. They have particularly high melting points, high strength, and abrasion resistance. Accordingly, tungsten carbide hard materials are used for wear-resistant tools, cutting tools, machining tools, and other tooling materials. In this study, the WC-5wt.%Co, Fe, Ni hard materials are densified using the horizontal ball milled WC-Co, WC-Fe, and WC-Ni powders by a spark plasma sintering process. The WC-5Co, WC-5Fe, and WC-5Ni hard materials are almost completely densified with a relative density of up to 99.6% after simultaneous application of a pressure of 60 MPa and an electric current for about 15 min without any significant change in the grain size. The average grain size of WC-5Co, WC-5Fe, and WC-5Ni that was produced through SPS was about 0.421, 0.779, and $0.429{\mu}m$, respectively. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense WC-5Co, WC-5Fe, WC-5Ni hard materials were also investigated.

율무 수침엑스(Co-Ex)가 대식세포내 톡소포자충(Toxoplosmo gondii RH strain)의 번식에 억제 작용이 있다는 보고(Soh et al.., 1994)에 이어 본 연구는 Co-Ex내의 유효성분(effective component)을 추구하기 위하여 이미 탈지조작과 단백질 변성과정을 거친 Co-Ex를 Tris-buffer solution에 녹인 후 원심과정으로 그 상청(WC1) 그리고 WC1을 ammonium sulfate 처리 후 원심한 상청(WC2)과 침사(WC3)를 분리하였고 WC1은 다시 column chromatography에 의하여 WC4 WC5 WC6로 분획하여 시료로 사용하였으며. 대식세포 활성에 기여하는 것으로 이미 알려진 $IFN-{\gamma}$, LPS 등을 참고자료로 하였다. 각 시험자료들의 대식세포 활성화로 인한 반응질소 중간산물(RN1) 생산량. 대식세포의 톡소포자충 감염상 대식세포내 톡소포자충 번식상 등을 비교 조사하였다 10% FCS 첨가 DMEM 배지에 배양하였고 이에 각종 시료(BRM)를 실험목적에 따라 배지에서 24시간 작용시킨 뒤 RNI를 조사하였고 이어 톡소포자충 $1\times10^6$을 30분 감염시킨 뒤 새 배지에 옮겨 48시간 배양한 뒤 Pl, Fl 등을 조사하였다. NO 생산은 각례 대조(시료 비투여)에 비하여 높았고 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가는 생산량(${\mu}M/l$)을 더욱 증가시켰다(예 Control 7.5 Control + $IFN-{\gamma}$ 14.2 WC2 26.2 WC2 + $IFN-{\gamma}$ 57.8). 포자충감염율(%)은 대조에 비하여 낮았고 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가시에는 더욱 낮아졌는데 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가예에서의 감염율은 대조 38.0인데 비하여 WC2 19.2. WC1 + WC2 + WC3 7.2로 나타났다. 세포당감염율도 같은 경향으로 INF-$\gamma$ 첨가시험에서 대조 6.0(감염 대식세포 100개 중의 톡소포자충 평균수) WC2 1.7, WCI + WC2 + WC3 1.4 등으로 나타 났다. 결론적으로 율무엑스 수침엑스 중 WC2, WC1 등은 대식세포를 활성화하나 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 첨가는 더욱 그 활성화를 높이며 그 중 WC2가 활성화에 주역을 하는 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

This study focuses on the fabrication of a WC/Co composite powder from the oxide of WC/Co hardmetal scrap using solid carbon in a hydrogen gas atmosphere for the recycling of WC/Co hardmetal. Mixed powders are manufactured by mechanically milling the oxide powder of WC-13 wt% Co hardmetal scrap and carbon black with varying powder/ball weight ratios. The oxide powder of WC-13 wt% Co hardmetal scrap consists of $WO_3$ and $CoWO_4$. The mixed powder mechanically milled at a lower powder/ball weight ratio (high mechanical milling energy) has a more rapid carbothermal reduction reaction in the formation of WC and Co phases compared with that mechanically milled at a higher powder/ball weight ratio (lower mechanical milling energy). The WC/Co composite powder is fabricated at $900^{\circ}C$ for 6 h from the oxide of WC/Co hardmetal scrap using solid carbon in a hydrogen gas atmosphere. The fabricated WC/Co composite powder has a particle size of approximately $0.25-0.5{\mu}m$.

Friction and wear of pressureless sintered Ti(C,N)-WC ceramics were studied using a ball-on-reciprocating flat apparatus in open air. The silicon nitride ball and the cemented carbide (WC-Co) ball were used against the Ti(C,N)-WC plate samples. The friction coefficients of the Ti(C,N)-WC samples against the silicon nitride ball and the cemented carbide ball were about 0.57 and 0.3, respectively. The wear coefficient of the sample without WC addition was 5 times as large as that of the sample with 10 mole % WC addition when tested against the silicon nitride ball under 98 N. The higher wear coefficient of Ti(C,N)-0WC was explained in part by larger grain size. Wear occurred mainly by grain dislodgment after intergranular cracking mainly caused by the accumulated stress within the grains.

A radically new approach to the in situ synthesis of the consituent phases of a composite structure has enabled the production of a new WC/Co materials with an ultrafine microstructure. The process for synthesizing nanophase WC/Co powders consists of spray drying from solution to form a homogeneous precursor powder, and thermochemical conversion of the precursor powder to the nanophase WC/Co powder. Near theoretical density of pure nanophase WC-10 wt%Co has been obtained in only 30 sec at 140$0^{\circ}C$. But WC particles were grown up very rapidly with longer sintering time to get full density. To overcome coarsening of WC particle during sintering, VC, TaC and VC/TaC were used as the grain growth inhibitor with different amount respectively. VC/TaC doped WC-10 wt%Co was shown superior hardness and TRS and microstructure was maintained ultrafine scale (average WC size is less than 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$).
