Microstructure and mechanical properties of WC-3 wt% Co cemented carbides, fabricated by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) process, were investigated in this study. The WC-3 wt%Co powders were sintered at $900{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ for 5min under 40MPa in high vacuum. The density and hardness were increased as the sintering temperature increased. WC-3 wt%Co compacts with a relative density of 97.1% were successfully fabricated at $1100^{\circ}C$. The fracture toughness and hardness of a compact sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ were $21.6 MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and 4279 Hv, respectively.

This study deals with characterizations of microstructure and wear performance of a cladding layer, product on 1.9 mm-thick mild steel plate by the electric resistance welding, of composite metal powder of Coarse WC-6.5%Co and high carbon alloy(SHA). The cladding layer was examined and tested fur microstructural features, chemical composition, hardness, wear performance and wear mechanism. The cladding layer have two different matrix were observed by an optical microscope and EPMA. The one was the coarse WC-6.5Co structure. The other was the melted SHA with surrounding the WC-6.5Co structure. The hardness of WC-6.5Co was 1210HV. The hardness of SHA was 640HV. In comparison by wear rate, the cladding layer showed the remarkable wear performance that was 15 times of SM490 and about 62% of D2.

The development of new spraying processes has increased the demand for high quality protective coatings. Many thermal spraying processes have been developed to obtain coatings for a wide spectrum of materials and substrates. The plasma spray process was used to deposit coatings of WC-12%Co powders on mild steel substrate, and the characteristics of as-sprayed and vacuum heat treated coatings have been investigated. The variations of microhardness and bond strength in WC-12%Co coatings after heat treatment under vacuum circumstance have been investigated. The effects of phases and morphologies of WC-12%Co coatings have been investigated by utilizing X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The microhardness and bond strength of the coatings were increased with increasing the temperature in the temperature range of $700^{circ}C~1000^{\circ}C$. The bond strength was obtained 49 MPa after vacuum heat treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$.

This study focuses on the development of an alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process for the recovery of tungsten from WC/Co hardmetal sludge, and an examination of the effect of the process parameters on tungsten recovery. The alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process has four stages, i.e., oxidation of the sludge, leaching of tungsten by NaOH, refinement of the leaching solution, and precipitation of tungsten. The WC/Co hardmetal sludge oxide consists of $WO_3$ and $CoWO_4$. The leaching of tungsten is most affected by the leaching temperature, followed by the NaOH concentration and the leaching time. About 99% of tungsten in the WC/Co hardmetal sludge is leached at temperatures above $90^{\circ}C$ and a NaOH concentration above 15%. For refinement of the leaching solution, pH control of the solution using HCl is more effective than the addition of $Na_2S{\cdot}9H_2O$. The tungsten is precipitated as high-purity $H_2WO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ by pH control using HCl. With decreasing pH of the solution, the tungsten recovery rate increases and then decrease. About 93% of tungsten in the WC/Co hardmetal sludge is recovered by the alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process.

WC-Co composites are widely used as cutting or drilling tools because of their high hardness, strength, and fracture toughness. The working temperature is, however, generally in the range of 300-$700^{\circ}C$ so thermal shock fracture of WC-Co can occur. In this study, the strength, fracture toughness and fracture surface of 16wt% Co bonded tungsten carbide composites before and after thermal shock were observed.

초경공구(WC-Co)의 성능 향상을 목적으로 고경도, 높은 열전도도의 특성 등을 가진 다이아몬드 막을 코팅하고 있으나 WC-Co 기판표면의 특성상 문제점으로 인하여 코팅의 어려움이 있다. 이 문제의 해결을 위하여 WC-Co기판위에 중간층을 도입한 후 다이아몬드 막을 증착시키는 새로운 방법을 고려하였으며 중간층의 제조에 무전해 Ni-P도금법을 사용하였다. 무전해도금을 위한 WC-Co기판의 전처리, 무전해도금 및 열처리, 다이아몬드 막 증착의 공정에 대하여 조사하였다. 형성되는 계면의 구조와 성분, 계면간의 밀착력 등을 Scratch Tester, Roughness Tester, SEM/EDS, XRD, Raman Spectroscopy를 사용하여 분석하였다. 무전해도금의 전처리로서 산에 의한 방법과 다이아몬드 분말에 의한 방법을 사용하였으며 두 경우에 모두 WC-Co기판의 표면조도의 감소, 표면 Co성분의 감소, 그리고 밀착력 저하가 관찰되었다. 무전해도금층의 열처리시 영향을 조사하였으며 온도 증가에 따라 Ni 결정이 형성되며 이로 인하여 도금의 밀착력이 증가되며 Ni 결정이 성장함을 관찰하였다. 또한 열처리된 Ni-P도금 위에서 다이아몬드막 증착 실험을 실시하였으며 증착온도를 증가시킴에 따라 다이아몬드 형성이 증가되어 $800^{\circ}C$일때 양호한 다이아몬드 막을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구의 방법 및 실험조건은 WC-Co를 비롯하여 다이아몬드 막 형성이 어려운 소재들의 코팅에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다.

The knowledge of grain growth of carbide particles is very important for manufacturing micrograined cemented carbides. In the present study, continuous and discontinuous grain growth in WC-Co and WC-VC-Co cemented carbides is investigated using the Monte Carlo computer simulation technique. The Ostwald ripening process (solution/re-precipitation) and the grain boundary migration process are assumed in the simulation as the grain growth mechanism. The effects of liquid phase fraction, grain boundary energy and implanted coarse grain are examined. At higher liquid phase content, mass transfer via solid/liquid interfaces plays a major role in grain growth. Growth rate of the implanted grain was higher than that of the matrix grains through solution/re-precipitation and coalescence with neighboring grains. The results of these simulations qualitatively agree with experimental ones and suggest that distribution of liquid phase and carbide particle/carbide grain boundary energy as well as contamination by coarse grain are important factors controlling discontinuous grain growth in WC-Co and WC-VC-Co cemented carbides. The contamination by coarse grains must by avoided in the manufacturing process of fine grain cemented carbides, especially with low Co.
