Powder metallurgy (PM) is a primarily used because of its relatively close capability and cost-achievement ratio. The automotive industry considered major market for the powder industry, as it necessitates products having superior mechanical or part implementation on global level. PM technology undergoing considerable changes in manufacturing materials research automobile technologies transitio...

This study presents the development of niobium carbide cermets bound to nickel and Ni-12Al (wt%). The use (wt%) Ni aims replace strategic elements such as cobalt (Co) utilized in tungsten carbide-based cermets. Cermets different compositions were processed by conventional powder metallurgy. Microstructural analysis with semi-quantitative chemical EDX, Vickers microhardness density measurement p...
