WC cemented carbide are used as many die material to improve abration resistance. Mechanical properties of the cemented carbide were influenced by Co content and WC grain size. In this study, effects of Co content and WC grain size of WC cemented carbide on wear were examied. We prepared 13 cemented carbides with different Co content and WC grain size. Wear test was carried out against S45C under dry condition at 98N and 232mm/s. From the results, we found that wear increased with both Co content and WC grain size. Specific wear rate was range $10^{-7}mm^3/Nm$.

The linear intercept (LI) method was used to quantitatively measure the intercepts of WC grains in nano-grained WC-10Co hardmetal. When the surveyed intercept numbers of WC grain exceeded 200, the statistic data for the mean grain size of WC were reproduced. The discriminative minimal grain size of used LI method was 12 nm; the maximum intercept of WC grain was 109 nm; the average intercept of WC grains was 45 nm and the corresponding 3D mean grain size of WC was 70 nm which is agreeable with the XRD outcome.

The plastic deformation behavior of cemented carbides is related to the WC grain boundary strength. Ab initio calculations predict that Co and Mn segregate to WC/WC grain boundaries. To experimentally study the effect of Mn, a WC-Co-Mn material was manufactured and compared to a WC-Co material. The microstructure was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), including electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Special attention was paid to the WC grain size and the frequency of special low-energy grain boundaries. Mn was found to have negligible effect on both the WC grain growth and the fraction of $\sum2$ WC/WC boundaries in the as-sintered material.

서로 다른 입자크기를 갖는 WC와 Co 분말 원료를 사용하여 $WC-10\;wt\%$Co 초경합금을 제조하였다. 이로부터 WC와 Co 원로. 입자크기가 제조된 초경합금의 성질에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. WC 원료 입자크기가 클수록 제조된 초경합금이 파괴인성이 높고 경도는 낮게 나타나는데, 이러한 경향은 Co 원료 입자크기에 크게 영향 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다. Co 원료 크기의 영향 외에도 Co 원료 크기가 초경합금의 특성에 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌는데, 동일한 WC 원료를 사용하여도 미세한 Co 원료를 사용할 경우, 보다 조대한 WC를 함유하여 인성이 우수한 초경합금을 제조할 수 있었다. 이로부터 Co 원료 입자크기가 초경합금의 미세구조 및 그 특성에 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있었다

Growth behavior of two different types of grains, faceted and rounded, in a liquid matrix has been studied in the (75WC-25TiCN)-30Co system. Powder samples were sintered above the eutectic temperature for various times under a carbon saturated condition. (Ti,W)(C,N) grains with a rounded shape and WC grains with a faceted shape coexisted in the same Co based liquid. With increasing sintering time, the average size of (Ti.W)(C,N) grains increased continuously and very large WC grains appeared. The growth of rounded (Ti,W)(C,N) grains followed a cubic law, r^3-r^3_0$=kt, where r is the average size of the grains, $r_0$ the initial average size, k the proportionality constant and t the sintering time. indicating a diffusion-controlled growth. On the other hand, the growth of the faceted WC grains resulted in a bimodal grain size distribution, showing an abnormal grain growth. These observations show that the growth behavior of different types of grains is governed by their shape, faceted or rounded, even in the same liquid matrix.

In this study, binderless-WC, WC-6 wt%Co, WC-6wt% 1 and 2.5 B₄C materials are fabricated by spark plasma sintering process (SPS process). Each fabricated WC material is almost completely dense, with a relative density up to 99.5 % after the simultaneous application of pressure of 60 MPa. The WC added Co and Co-B₄C materials resulted in crystalline growth. The WC with HCP crystal structure has respective interfacial energy (basal facet direction: 1.07 ~ 1.34 J·m^-2, prismatic direction: 1.43 ~ 3.02 J·m^-2) that depends on the grain growth direction. It is confirmed that the continuous grain growth, biased by the basal facet, which has relatively low energy, is promoted at the WC/Co interface. As abnormal grain growth takes place, the grain size increases more than twice from 0.37 to 0.8 um. It is found through analysis that the hardness property also greatly decreases from about 2661.4 to 1721.4 kg/mm², along with the grain growth.

WC에 소량의 Co를 첨가하여 그에 따른 미세조직의 변화를 관찰하였다. 순수한 WC를 성형하여 그 윗부분에 Co를 올려놓고 195$0^{\circ}C$에서 소결을 행한 결과, WC시편에서는 Co상이 놓여 액상을 형성한 영역으로부터 거리에 따라 입자의 크기와 모양이 다른 활발한 비정상입성장이 관찰되었다. 그러나, Co상이 놓인 영역으로부터 떨어진 시편 아래 영역에서는 낮은 치밀화와 함께 비정상입성장은 일어나지 않았다. 즉, Co 액상량은 WC의 비정상입성장 현상에 지대한 영향을 주었으며, 이러한 비정장입정장 현상은 2차원 핵생성 기구와 그에 따른 입성장기구로 설명이 가능하였다.

WC-Co 초경합금의 항자력과 자기포화도를 평가하여 합금조직과 이에 따른 기계적 성질의 예측에 관해 연구하였다. WC 입경이 다르고 탄소함량 및 소결온도가 다른 WC-8%-Co 초경합금을 분말 야금법에 의해 제조하였다. 항자력과 자기포화도와 같은 WC-Co 합금의 자기적 특성은 합금조성 및 조직에 크게 의존하였다. 미소한 합금탄소량의 변화와 WC 입도의 차이에 의해서도 WC-Co 합금의 자기적 특성과 경도 및 항절력이 크게 변화하였다. WC 입도가 미세할수록 소결합금의 항자력과 경도는 증가하였고, 항자력은 경도의 증가와 비례하였다. WC-8%Co 합금의 화학 양론적 조성 아래로 카본함량이 감소하면 자기포화도와 항절력이 떨어지고 $\eta$상의 체적률도 꾸준히 증가하였다. WC-Co 합금에 있어서 자기포화도는 항자력과 반비례하였다.

WC-Co cemented carbides were consolidated using spark plasma sintering in the temperature 1400℃ with transition metal carbides addition. The densification depended on exponentially as a function of sintering exponent. Moreover, the secondary (M, W) C_x phases were formed at the grain boundaries of WC basal facet. Corresponded, to increase the basal facets lead to the plastic deformation and oriented grain growth. A higher hardness was correlated with their grain size and lattice strain. We suggest that this is due to the formation energy of (M, W)C_x attributed to inhibit the grain growth and separates the WC/Co interface.

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.
