In this study, an industrial polycrystalline SiC tile was successfully sintered by pressureless sintering at 2150°C for 1 hour. The physical and mechanical properties of silicon carbide including density, hardness, bending strength, and fracture toughness were evaluated. The results indicated that the mentioned properties were 3.08 g.cm-3, 2503 HV0, 249.3 MPa, and 1.23 MPam0.5</...

Two-phase fully dense high entropy carbide (HEC) cermets were successfully prepared following the conventional cemented carbide/cermet processing route. Cold isostatically pressed equimolar TiC, VC, NbC, TaC and WC powder mixtures with 12 vol% Ni binder pressureless sintered in solid state liquid phase sintering regimes respectively. A homogeneous rock-salt (space group Fm3¯m) HEC embedded a ni...

The aim of the present work is to study the effects of the nanostructured WC-20 wt. % (Fe,Co) with different ratios of iron to cobalt on the microstructure and hardness of sintered samples. Furthermore, a sample with a cobalt binder under the same condition was produced for the comparison purposes. The nanocomposite development, after different milling times, has been monitored by means of X-ra...

This study focuses on the preparation of fine-grained WC/Co composite powder using rolling ball milling and spray drying techniques. The cemented carbide composition achieved through low-pressure sintering technology was WC-10Co-0.5Cr3C2-1TaC-0.5Ru (wt.%). To effect temperature microstructure mechanical properties WC-10 wt.% carbide, phase constituents material were analyzed X-ray diffractometr...
